I live in England so rain is the norm but I like the open air too, so I’ve built a Roof which covers my yard and at the flick of a toggle switch retracts back over the garage. I should have done this ages ago as its fantastic and with the addition of the rain sensor I can leave it open knowing if it rains it will shut itself.

  1. I am building a tiny house in containers and you can give me some ideas. I am in the Republic of Panama, in Central America.

  2. Will be nice to add some strings at the end of cord for keeping the tension ?

  3. I do a lot of 3D printing, and Colin's reasoning on the bearings–and the alternatives of using a rail system–is literally a big part of the benefits to going with a linear rail system over standard rod and linear bearings.

  4. He should have gotten his hover bike and flown off after retracting the roof super villain style

  5. If I was his neighbor I would build a bunker and connect it to his with a massive war ship type hatch in between.

  6. You think the property value of the house is going up with all this, or way down?

  7. what if you connected it to a raspberry pi/pi zero and set it up as a server, then wrote an app for your phone that could be used to control the roof through inputs to the server from the phone and through the electronics that control the roof?

  8. Well, at least a hundred or so of the 5000 commenters noticed it was an asbestos roof. Maybe a bit more PPE next time…? I hope you disposed of it safely!

  9. This guys the tits. … Are u a welder/ fabricator Colin ???

  10. This type of roll-off roof is a pretty popular way among amateur astronomers to convert a shed to an observatory! You can pier mount your telescope(s), have them weather protected, and ready to go in no time. As a bonus, the walls also function as windbreaks!
