In captivity, the binturong has been noted for its intelligence as well as its curious disposition. However, its occasional ill-temperament makes it a difficult pet at best and it is better handled by experienced wildlife handlers and zookeepers.
When you do have to make a choice, the style of roofâpitched or flatâis the first consideration. Materials for a pitched roof include wood shakes and shingles, asphalt shingles, tile, metal, and slate. You can cover a flat roof with tar and gravel, modified bitumen roofing, EPDM rubber roofing, asphalt roll roofing, metal, or PVC membrane.
Organic asphalt shingles have a paper mat or backing with a layer of asphalt added on top. Fiberglass asphalt shingles contain a mat made of fiberglass with a layer of asphalt added on top. Composition shingles are made from materials such as asphalt or asbestos, tar paper, slate, shake, laminate and wood. The combination of these ingredients improves the shingle's strength.
