A hole in the Roof

[thebitmaster]

In the Burning Man community we make a lot of roofs out of recycled billboard vinyl. It only lasts a few years (at least in Texas) but it's cheap and widely available. The thing we often use to glue it is Oatey X-15 shower pan adhesive. It's messy and you have to be careful not to use too much, but it creates a watertight bond on many kinds of vinyl. I've used it on my yurt roof(s) for over 8 years and never had a leak that was caused by adhesive failure. It's usually available at most big box hardware stores. I replace my billboard vinyl roof about every three years.
