Roofing shingles can last for anything from 20 to more than
100 years depending on what they’re made of. If you’re looking to reuse old
roofing shingles, however, the roof is no longer an option. Instead, there are
many other ways that you can recycle them and continue using them quite
comfortably.
One of the most ingenious ways to reuse them is to build a
new dog house or bird house and build a new roof for it using the old roofing
shingles. Even though they’re no longer usable when it comes to a normal roof,
these shingles are more than enough to help your tiny friends get a new home.
Tree houses also need a roof, and since they have a lot of
protection from the tree they’re built on, the old shingles you’ve salvaged off
your old roof will be more than enough to keep the interior of your new tree
house dry. Helpful Orlando roofers can give you roofing tips for this DIY project.
Finally, you can also use old shingles to build pathways
through your garden or from your house to your garage. These walkways are easy
to make and they’ll keep your property looking beautiful regardless of whether
you’re aiming for a more traditional style or you’re looking to add curb appeal
to a modern and edgy exterior design.
