I hear what you're saying about attracting rats and the worry about the shine attracting scavengers But onc eyou have a root built, there will be paint pots with stuff in around most garages. You can use dirt to dill it, or however you want. I'd probably dig up a load of turf and use that. But in general they would be really good roof tiles. They would make an awesome sound in the rain as well!!!
