Where can I purchase roofing shingle tabs by the truck load
l live in east Texas and have a driveway off the main road that is over one
half mile long and about fifteen feet wide. l wanna lay down roofing
shingle tabs instead of paving the drive with asphalt or pouring concrete
but l am having a difficult time finding them. Where can l purchase these
by the truckload and have them delivered?
Paving your road with asphalt shingles? You live in East Texas
all right. Yippee-ki-yi-yay.
If you're going to do something like this, I would definately
not get them at the dump. When roofers remove shingles from a roof, they
use a special shovel that acts like a big scraper blade. That means they
take up nails & all. Say that you find 5000 shingle at the dump. With at
least 2 nails per shingle, thats 10,000 nails youre laying down in ur
driveway & running ur expensive tires over. Its not worth it in the long
run. I suggest a crushed stone called chert. Its a very small gravel with rock duct mixed in. After its watered down & packed down its like concrete. It is fairly cheap & you can get it at any gravel yard or a dump truck service can usually hook you up.
the best place would probably be the closest dump (not a joke)
go there & ask if they dont mind you looking through the stuff that is
dumped, there are alot of shingles dumped at places like that, or if you
happen to see a dumpster truck ask him where they dump, & the company,
they may be able to dump dirrectly on ur property & it would save them
money also.but make sure its only what you need, ur also taking a big
chance of nails & other debrie,,,,i hope that works for you
