[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bman36</i> <br /><br />Capt. C., <br /> That's an interesting idea you have there. It's meant to be used as shingles so it should take the weather. From what I recall it is not that expensive either. One cause for concern would be getting it to lay flat on the ground. It would have to be smooth underneath or else I could see it acting like a bridge leaving gaps. Joints could be made by nailing it to a piece of cedar or other treated wood. Use a permanent marker to hide the nail head and away you go. How about trying this as an experiment in your yard? Then you can see if it is worth doing on a larger scale. Later eh...Brian. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Give me a few weeks and I'll see what I can do. I have to wait until school lets out. I, however, got the idea from my grandfather who had a large section of it thrown on the ground follwing our last major hurricane. I think it came off a shead or storage building about two years ago and there it has remained relatively untounched by nature. <br /> <br />
