Used Tire Roof

One day i saw a bunch of old tires used as a retaining wall and that got me thinking about what other uses old tires are good for.

Used tire roof.

The concept remains the same. By as you ve probably guessed. Then using a mixture of hot glue and superglue i attached the shingles to the roof. I had a few thoughts about what to make but i liked the idea of tire shingles the best.

In the south thunderstorms typically precipitate strong winds. You ll still have to add a roof but you ll have saved a bundle in material costs by using used tires for most of your structure. Kerkhof decided he d both 1 do the environment a good deed by disposing of surplus used tires and 2 cut down on the consumption of roofing materials. Diy home builds rarely use old tires but for an outdoor structure for weird architecture art mash ups they re the perfect.

Used tires are naturally weather resistant so they make great building walls. When discount tire reached out to me for a fresh take on how to repurpose a used tire the gears started turning. Passenger car tires are 55 to 45 per cent light truck tires are 50 to 50 per cent race tires are 65 to 35 per cent and off highway tires 20 to 80 per cent. Pretty soon they would find themselves without a roof.

I did a dry fit first to make sure. I hadn t thought about this but it makes perfect sense. To the right is the sketch for the new roof and it required 2 8 2 x4 and 3 4 x8 plywood sheets. Image 7 image 8.

Next i wanted to know what other environmental problems tires cause other than those related to their composition. When one tin sheet will blow off it will typically bring with it another panel or two.
