Roofing apparatus

A method for roofing and managing precipitation and runoff on a roof, comprising:

• providing a plurality of roofing apparatuses, each of said roofing apparatuses comprising:
• an enclosure configured to contain roofing materials, said enclosure defined by a front panel, a rear panel assembly, side panels, and a base panel having a tail area, wherein said front panel, said rear panel assembly, and said side panels extend upwardly from said base panel;
• said front panel positioned along a length of said base panel;
• said side panels positioned at opposing ends of said front panel;
• said tail area of said base panel extending beyond said rear panel assembly;
• and
• said rear panel assembly positioned parallel and opposite to said front panel at a predetermined distance from said front panel;
• positioning a set of said roofing apparatuses on said roof in a predefined configuration with respect to another set of said roofing apparatuses;
• receiving said runoff on said tail area of said base panel of a first of said roofing apparatuses from a second of said roofing apparatuses connected upslope from said first of said roofing apparatuses on said roof;
• directing said received runoff from said tail area of said base panel of said first of said roofing apparatuses into said enclosure of said first of said roofing apparatuses by said rear panel assembly of said first of said roofing apparatuses;
• draining said received runoff from said enclosure through said front panel of said first of said roofing apparatuses;
• and
• draining excess said received runoff from said enclosure by a top edge of said front panel defined at a predetermined distance below a top edge of each of said side panels.

A roofing apparatus comprising:

• an enclosure configured to contain roofing materials, said enclosure defined by a front panel, a rear panel assembly, side panels, and a base panel having a tail area, wherein said front panel, said rear panel assembly, and said side panels extend upwardly from said base panel;
• said front panel positioned along a length of said base panel;
• said side panels positioned at opposing ends of said front panel;
• said tail area of said base panel extending beyond said rear panel assembly, said tail area of a first said roofing apparatus configured to receive runoff from a second said roofing apparatus connected upslope from said first said roofing apparatus on a roof;
• said rear panel assembly positioned parallel and opposite to said front panel at a predetermined distance from said front panel, said rear panel assembly of said first said roofing apparatus configured to direct said received runoff from said tail area of said base panel of said first said roofing apparatus into said enclosure of said first said roofing apparatus;
• and
• wherein a top edge of said front panel is defined at a predetermined distance below a top edge of each of said side panels, wherein said top edge of said front panel is configured to drain excess said runoff from said enclosure.
