First issue will be to determine if the roof structure is suitable for use as a deck, ie; can it support that kind of load. Next will be to find out what kind of regulations you must meet in order to do it.
Once you've done that, then you'll have a better idea what you need to do to complete it. You will almost certainly need to beef up the decking as the original sheeting is unlikely to be heavy enough to support repeated walking on. You'll need to add some sort of railing to prevent falling off, and some sort of stairs for access. Lastly, you'll need to use some sort of roofing membrane that will keep the water out while not breaking down from the foot traffic. Or you can just toss a couple of lawn chairs up there and play the odds.

Well...the roof is very basic right now. Just tar roof on plywood. A few of the plywood is rotting from the inside, so we will tear those and replace them. Then we were hoping to rebuild with a sheet of decking material and call it a day. There wouldn't be much load just a few hundred pounds at the most. I believe that wet snow will weigh more than what we will be using the roof for.
Thanks for all the responses so far. Paul ________ Ford Wiki Last edited by Gooly001; 01-25-2011 at 05:03 AM.
