Question for rubber roofing users

[wendell]

I was able to finally find some rubber roofing that came from a house that was being re-roofed but they cut it into squares that are smaller than my stacks. Do you do anything to seal where your pieces overlap or will just weighing it down suffice?

I put a short pole under where it overlaps so that water sheds away.

Do you need to weigh them down or are they heavy enough they will stay put on their own?

I use rubber to cover my wood ( no pun intended ). I weight it down with logs and bricks. Where the rubber overlaps I put a piece of wood under the lap to raise the rubber up slightly so the water runs off. Works great, was free and lasts for many years.

I can't say I've ever seen wood stacked on blocks like that (using a split to bridge the blocks). Interesting.

It could have been anything. The blocks is just what I happened to have on hand.. I used some limbs I cut off my Maple trees after the ice storm here.

Cut some rebar to the width of your stack. Cut some poly pipe to the same length and slit it lengthwise. Wrap the ends of the two rubber pieces over the rebar and slip the slitted poly pipe over the works.
