How do you prevent grass from slipping off a sloping roof?

The latest stage of construction at the Orange Regional Museum site is under way.

A specialist crew from Sydney-based firm 'Junglefly' is installing the framework that will hold the building's landmark grassed roof.

There are two systems :

  • one 8-10 cms high system for flat sections of the roof
  • a separate 20 cms high framework for the sloped sections of the roof, which are on a 23-degree angle.



Junglefy has supplied green roofs and green walls for a number of high-profile projects in Sydney, including the harbour waterfront Barangaroo project.
It's expected the specially-formulated blend of soil will be pumped onto the roof in the coming weeks, followed by the rolling out of the turf.
A blend of Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass, the same blend that's used on the roof of Parliament Hose in Canberra will be used on the museum roof..
