Most roofs are made to easily support 3 foot of wet snow. Should be fine.

Snow load calculations depend on the location. In states like Colorado with large altitude differences, one location may have a 20 pound per sqft snow load rating and another location may have an 60 pound per sqft snow load rating.

I live in a very cold, snowy state and they still just use normal shitty pine 2x4s for trusses and 3/8-1/2 inch particle board. I dont think you could really do it any cheaper or save any more materials than that. Gonna build truesses out of 2x2s? lol. I have seen 3 feet of snow and ice on my roof with 60 year old trusses made of 2x4s. they are spaced out 16'' apart which is stud code and how most houses are built but you can do 26''. Even at 26'' i wouldnt have a worry in the world doing what this guy is doing.

I was thinking about removing some of the bottom leaves, its bushy as hell wanted to get an opinion from you growers, right now I'm leaning towards defoliation if anyone wants to offer any advice?

Yeah i would gut all the leaves and little branches at the base. Those girls are going to get at least 5 feet taller, No way sun will penetrate through 5 feet of thick bush.

You went through all that trouble and didn't bother painting the wood? Get some lattice up there, stop giving growers a bad image with your duct tape hillbilly grows!

I think it'll definitely help with avoiding any major infestations. I'd be more worried about the heat and having to climb up there so much for maintenance lol. Roofing for 4+ years, I've had soles from the bottom of my shoes melt off while I was wearing them. I definitely like the idea but man thats gonna be a bitch to take care of

It's really cool, but I'd be worried about the roof. There should be drain holes in those cans, so that dirty water I would think will stain the roof, and leave some nasty marks. I hope I'm wrong though because I like the idea.

It'll definitely create markings on the roof over time. Nothing permanent though.
