It's about 2 miles of non-maintained dirt road, with a 20% grade, to reach it. UPS and the post office don't deliver there, nor does Fedex ground. So I'd have to figure out a place to get it delivered. I bought a complete roll of EPDM - which weighs about 200 pounds, so delivery is not that simple. Perhaps you live closer to civilization!

Though we spent many days repairing the roof last fall,  we didn’t succeed in removing every leak. We patched every hole and crack that we could see,  but didn’t realize that went the roofers first roofed it, they had not glued the EPDM that stretches across the berms behind the wing walls. This summer, we finally found the unsealed seams and crawled under the EPDM to fix the drainage. [...] […] Lately, the EPDM membrane roof leaked in several places.

That's heavy stuff (I guess it would need to be). There are listings for it on eBay. (You can buy or sell <i>anything</i> there.) Holy cow! That’s heavy stuff (I guess it would need to be).

Not sure if or where they sell EPDM online. It's considered a commercial roofing product that requires professional installation.

You'd think that places selling to contractors would make an exception for the (likely) few homeowners who call. How heavy is the stuff? Buying it online may be cheaper than the gas and time spent driving to Denver. Oy. You’d think that places selling to contractors would make an exception for the (likely) few homeowners who call.
