Today, in the blazing sun, we glued the rubber membrane down on the roof of the Garage. It was very hot on the roof and especially the black rubber was absorbing huge amount of heat from the Sun! we were forced into doing narrow strip before the glue dried on us!

It was quite tricky trying to keep the rubber smooth without any ripples and unfortunately we didn’t quite make it! There were lots of things we could have done in hindsight but mostly it was so hot that we had very limited time.

We folded the rubber over the edges to provide a complete waterproofing seal for the whole roof. Just the rain drain connection left to do in the morning.
At least we can say that our roof is water tight not barring the wrinkles! We thought we would cover them up with a layer of small round stones! We had previously calculated the load bearing of the roof to allow for a 25mm thickness of stones!
