Touch-to-fasten coconut fiber roofing

Abstract

Disclosed is a touch-to-fastener roofing structure made of coconut fibers, includes: main boards, a support frame arranged below the main boards, a bonding strap arranged on a joint between the main boards. The main board includes an upper touch fastener and a lower touch fastener. The lower touch fastener of the main board engages an upper touch fastener provided on the support frame to fix the main board to the support frame. The upper touch fastener of the main board engages a lower touch fastener provided on the bonding strap to have the joint between the main boards sealed by the bonding strap. The main board includes upper and lower coconut fiber boards, an adhesive plastic film interposed between the two fiber boards for bonding the two fiber boards together, and a main board edge bonding strap fixing exposed edges of the two fiber boards and the film.
