- glxxyz 5y agoHowever long it lasts, it would last longer protected by an overhanging roof.
- daydream 5y agoReasonable conclusion. Without an overhang and gutters it seems like more rain and snow would run off the side of the building than there would be otherwise, keeping the wood wet for longer. But, on the other hand, the green roof might have some characteristics or affordances that prevent that. Hard to tell. I am curious now though!
