Sloped
Green roofs are now feasible in sloped applications with the Hydrotech® GardNet® option, a growing media confinement component within the Garden Roof(s)® Assembly. GardNet allows design professionals to expand beyond traditional flat roof applications and put a green roof in places they never could before.
Features of Garden Roof Assembly for Sloped Applications:
- Depth (3.5” - 13” of growing media)
- Visibility can be an architectural design feature
- Suitable for convex, concave and other complex slopes
- Accommodates up to 12:12 pitch (45º)
- Beyond 3:12 requires special engineering
- Vegetation options - plugs with GardMat® or InstaGreen® Sedum Carpet or InstaGreen® Sedum Tile or lawn sod
- Requires maintenance depending on vegetation selection
Typical Application:
Architects and owners are no longer limited to designing for flat green roof applications. The Garden Roof Assembly can now conform to irregular slopes and undulating roofs. For roof slopes greater than 3:12 and with soil depths of 3½ to 13 inches, a GardNet soil confinement system must be utilized.
