Houseboat roof application? Do you recommend this for a roof that doubles as sundeck that will be used heavily? Recommend putting something over it?

Would not recommend to be walked on, better choice would be plywood covered with steel roofing. Works good as patch for old mobile homes etc.

Not really mean for regular foot traffic, just occasional maintenance foot traffic. Plus, the foil like surface can be slippery. There are other membrane type waterproofing materials made for decking that might work better.

This product is NOT for much if any traffic. It works wonderful for a patio roof. But no to foot traffic.

I used this product to insulate the doors on a car to prevent vibration of the steel in the doors.

If using this product alone, I would not recommend this product for areas of heavy traffic as the top thin sheet metal membrane can be fairly easily pierced, thereby compromising the water resistance. What I've done for areas of heavy traffic (balconies) is laid down the MFM product as roofing and built a floating cedar or synthetic deck that can be walked on over the MFM roofing material. Looks great, weather proof, economical, and long lasting.

Depends on where you connect it. If you lanai has strong supports you will be okay if hooking to the corner supports I would suspect. One advantage of this type of sail is that it lets the air pass through it so it does not act like a sail but more of a screen. I am impresses with it and have used mine to cover a boat in florida. It is holding up great and has been in service over a year now. Hope this helps.

We have a regular one story home(ranch style) and wanted to mount it on the roof over the garage and it would not work. Ended up returning it, we were going to mount a 54" lifetime nba goal on it though. Our roof was "too tall" for the adjustment mount and our roof is a NORMAL roof. Good luck

It is just half a roof. I guess it's only a problem when sun is directly overhead. If you want full coverage this prob isn't te right play house. Incidentally my daughter is 3, we've now had this for 2 yrs and she's never taken interest in it! Maybe when she's older, but for now it's sorta boring!

Susan, I would wrap the USB adaptor and the connection with some UV resistant waterproof material...that's the only thing that could get fouled....I placed it on the top of a sailboat's mast and it's still kicking(last June 2013)the antenna itself would have not issues with being placed on the roof...connecting it to the roof is a whole issue in it self...god luck and keep posting

My application was on a wood gazebo. I just scraped and wire brushed the loose stuff, then painted over with a normal heavy duty deck finish. Maybe you could just paint over it with a quality concrete paint.

I believe they use the same panels for inground or above ground pools an above ground pool you just need a surface to mount the panel to if your pool is close enough to the house the roof would be fine.

I have since sold my boat. I did install it and really loved it. It offers a lot of protection from the Sun as well as had a nice coverage. the brackets were composite material which seem to hold up really well

Yes probably unless you attaché the strapping against the house with something other than nails. I have mine against my trailer and the ground moved during the winter so the second season I just had the roof frame screwed into the trailer at the top, this brought the sides back in line flush with the trailer that have foam in between the strapping and trailer side. But yes it may cause slight damage to the house if you want to secure it really well.Cheers

Yes, only problem I have is that the roof doesn't hold up to snow...it sags and snow accumulates and then drips when it melts. I'm trying to devise a way to make it stronger. Any ideas?

Is the deck covered (roof). The only issue I see is its exposed to the elements humidity, moisture etc. as far as it working properly I thinkin no modifications needed. I have one indoors and love it.

Since it did not work well for our 28' deck boat, I found a better cleaner, Maguire's Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner (also sold on Amazon). I would suggest two bottles.

You didn't mention the kind of roof you have. I've patched 2 metal roofs and it is easy to apply and works great. I even patched the bed in my Ranchero and the side of my old Toyota 4x4. Highly recommend this item.

This cover is for a V-Hull boat, I do own it and have it installed on my 18.5 ft open bow Sea Ray. This is not the right cover for a deckboat.

I keep mine covered on my dock and it works good. Keeps out the rain water. What I can't say is how long it will hold up to the sun because this is the first summer we've used it. It does keep water out and hornets, etc. that like to nest in my canoe.

I would not install this over the roof top exposing it to exterior elements. run it through your addict if possible.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott
