70% off and twisted a bit but once most of the boards were cut down, it wasn't too bad and I had a 15 foot bridge for less than $50 plus some deck screws.Īt the end of the path, I moved some of the sandstone to create a walkway boundary to keep the kids out of the poison ivy. I used Cull lumber from Home Depot for this. While constructing the path, I used some logs to traverse the area but I added a treated lumber bridge once the majority of the stone was down.

In the path, there is a natural spring that keeps an area rather wet and muddy. I added a bunch stone more at the bottom to make a path as well.

It is a compacting limestone so once it rained, it was nice and hard. I dug out some of the mud and clay between the steps and added the stone on top. However, an economic slowdown in some regions of the world has adversely affected the growth of the construction industry, thereby adversely impacting the demand for steep slope roofing materials.Īccording to the assessment of Persistence Market Research, the global steep slope roofing materials market is forecasted to reach a figure of about US$ 14,630 Mn in 2022 and is poised to exhibit a sluggish CAGR in the period of assessment.In order to avoid mud on the steps and people slipping, I added limestone, carried down the hill two 5 gallon buckets at a time. Besides, macro-economic factors like a growing population and improvement in the overall economy growth rate also play their part in the growth of this market. Increasing disposable income also plays a major part in the growth of steep slope roofing materials market.

The demand of steep slope roofing materials is tied to the growth in the construction industry. In addition, another main advantage of building a steep slope roof is that they accelerate the water run-off rate, due to which water doesn’t tend to accumulate on the roof and the build-up of debris and mold is avoided. Also, they can be transformed into wide variety of shapes, giving a vast scope to creativity and new design techniques.

The steep slope roofs possess the characteristics of greater aesthetic appeal, long service life, resistance to wind and low maintenance requirements. In other words, steep slope roofs are attractive and even affordable. Steep slope roofs are preferred by both the customers and architects since they add aesthetic appeal to the building and even offer a long-term performance. This translates into for every 12 horizontal inches, the rise of the roof is 3 inches or more. A steep slope roofing is defined as roofing that are suitable for roofs possessing slopes of 3:12 or greater.
