I think the problem with a roof like this would be wind. Traditional (cedar shake or slate or clay tile) shingle roofs are rigid, so the wind can’t lift the edge. Asphalt shingles are floppy, but have an adhesive strip that glues the bottom edges down to the layer below once they’ve been installed and warmed up by the sun for a while. These license plates are likely not glued down and would be relatively easy for the wind to bend or rip the fasteners out of, so I think durability in high winds would be sub-standard.
Considering you can see holes, I’d say no
Add more license plates. Got it.
Nah, more ramen.
Sounds like a disaster
More? Sure.
More disaster
It does, shingle rooves have been around forever, so long as you have the proper overlap it would work fine.
Found who’s been stealing all the local license plates…
Why do people make up fake stories for pictures when the picture itself is funny enough lol
I would say it works but would be very loud when it rains.
I’ve seen a lot of jank roof materials working in rural areas of India.
Metal roofing exists. It’s more like sheets than shingles. Not aware of metal shingles but I think it could work.
Semi-related but I recently went to New Mexico and saw a ton of people with roofs made of what looked like corrugated steel/composite. Never seen it before, my friend said it’s because it’s really effective against hail. Must be loud as hell when it rains or hails!
Yeah, I don’t know how tolerable the noise is from a metal roof. I do wonder.
It’s quite loud during hail and sorta calming in rain. It makes falling asleep a breeze for me.
Some metal roofs are made to look like shingles, but usually in the form of a long strip of metal that is imprinted with a shingle-like pattern to give the illusion of shingles.
Interesting. I’ve never seen that.
That’s because you’d mistake it for an asphalt roof unless you were specifically looking to spot the difference.
A bit like this, if you look closely you’ll see it’s long strips of metal running laterally with a shingle pattern. From a distance it looks almost like any other shingled roof.
