Why do people put tires on the roof of their home?
First off, the "Home and Auto" prefix works perfectly on this thread. But on to the topic.

I've been driving through a very rural area the past couple of days. Yesterday I saw a mobile home with a bunch of tires scattered on its roof. I pondered the reason and wondered if perhaps winds could cause a mobile home roof to resonate or something.

But over the past 36 hours I've seen several more homes with tires on their roof, and most of them weren't mobile homes. They were stick-and-brick homes that just happened to have numerous tires scattered on their roofs.

Why do people do this?

at least we are insured thank ****.

(not going to refinance the house to buy a new one, so we are going to save for the next two years.)

so in short, tin roofs ****ing suck. needs to either be shingles, clay shingles, or ****ing plywood painted

The roofs are called "bowstring", cause they're built on a roof truss shaped like an archer's bow... flat across the ceiling and arched up slightly in the center of the roof. The wooden trusses are nailed to the top plate of the exterior sidewalls of the home. The sheet metal roof skin is screwed only at the perimeter of the mobile home, along the top plates... NOT across the top of the trusses. This is because the metal roof skin and the wood framing expand and contract at different rates in temperature changes. If the roof skinning was fastened to each truss across the top of the roof, you'd eventually have leaks roof galore. Because the skinning is not fastened across the top of the roof, it tends to rumble whenever a good wind blows up. The weight of the tires prevent the rumbling. I've lived in Fla., Texas, New Hampshire, and Ohio, and it's the same thing everywhere. Watch out in the wintertime though; the tires will fill with rain and snow, and turn to ice, which puts alot of weight strain on your roof trusses.


Got this off of yahoo. I was curious as well
I was starting to think you were really really smart until you stuck those last two sentences in there!

Hardin, Garryowen...if you ever get a flat....find a trailer house.

Also, we use tires around utilities. Cows like to scratch against solid objects. We put tires around peds and markers. Cows won't step on them or around them. However, snakes and mice find them very comfy.

He walks with his head hung in shame and misses quite a bit around him. You'd do the same if your wife beat you every day and your boss made you drive a Subaru.
