With the Sedum Living Shed Roof EverGreen Hybrid kit, you can easily create a beautiful and sustainable living roof on your shed. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install the kit:
-
Gather Essential Materials: Start by gathering all the materials included in the kit, as well as any additional materials you may need, such as sedum plants, gravel, and filter fabric.
-
Prepare the Shed Roof Surface: Clean the shed roof surface thoroughly to remove any debris or loose materials. If the roof is uneven, consider using a roofing underlayment to provide a smooth base for the living roof components.
-
Lay the Waterproof Membrane: Install the EverGreen Hybrid Membrane according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the membrane extends beyond the shed's edges to prevent water from seeping in from the sides.
-
Install the Drainage Layer: Spread a layer of gravel or perforated plastic pipes across the roof surface to create a drainage layer. This layer will allow excess water to drain away effectively.
-
Position the Filter Fabric: Lay a layer of filter fabric over the drainage layer. This fabric will prevent soil from clogging the drainage system and allow water to pass through while retaining the growing medium and sedum plants.
-
Apply the Growing Medium: Spread the growing medium evenly over the filter fabric. The depth of the growing medium will depend on the specific sedum species you choose.
-
Plant Sedum Species: Select sedum plants that are well-suited to your climate and growing conditions. Sedum species are known for their drought tolerance and low water requirements, making them ideal for living roofs.
-
Water the Sedum Plants: Water the newly planted sedum plants thoroughly to establish their root systems. Gradually reduce watering as the plants mature and become more adapted to the roof environment.
-
Maintain the Living Roof: To maintain the health of your living roof, inspect the plants regularly for any signs of pests or diseases. Remove any weeds or overgrown plants to ensure the sedum species have sufficient space to thrive.
-
Enjoy Your Living Roof: Sit back and enjoy the beauty and benefits of your living shed roof!
