I just salveged some tempered glass. I have a client who wants me to<br>build a 3" green roof on his brownstone plus a deck that sits 2' above<br>the roof.<br>I suggested a glass deck and green roof under it.<br>He is concerned the vegetation under the glass deck will not survive<br>since it will bake in the summer.<br>Are there any experienced landscapers on this list who can offer their<br>experience?<br><br>Gennaro Brooks-Church<br>Director, Eco Brooklyn Inc.<br>Cell: 1 347 244 3016 USA<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.ecobrooklyn.com/">www.EcoBrooklyn.com</a><br>22 2nd St; Brooklyn, NY 11231<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Greenbuilding mailing list<br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br><a ymailto="mailto:Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org" href="mailto:Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org">Greenbuilding@bioenergylists.org</a><br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web
