Eco Factor: Roofing made from recycled discs.

The roofing concept makes use of about 120 discs per square meter of space, which are then drilled and arranged on a roof that has a wooden board underneath. The author claims that the concept can be used for sheds, lean-tos and porches. The end result is a roof that is hard-wearing, long-lasting, cheap and most importantly – green. Check out the complete DIY at Instructables.
