Thatch roof construction

Thatch roof construction has been around for many years and any natural materials such as grass or reed can be used.  The best grass or stalks for thatching are normally hollow and about 3mm thick.  The quality of roof thatching will depend on the quality of the material that is being used.

Thatch roof construction companies seem to differ on the quality of the material whether it is hand cut or machine cut.  Thatching by hand will produce a lot les bundles per day than machine cut bundles.  The time constraint on roof thatching will therefore be huge when comparing these two methods.

An aesthetic ridge can be added to roof thatching, but one should note it will need renewal every 5 years.  Thatch roof construction normally will last about 25 - 30 years when properly laid.  Roof thatching will result in dust and pieces of straw being dislodged from the roof.

The thatch roof construction team will consist of a person on the ground butting each bundle of grass on a butting board.  The roof Thatcher will catch the bundle and lay in place on the roof with the butt ends to the bottom.  A third Thatcher will stitch the bundles together and in place.

Sisal thatching twine is best for roof thatching and when the thatch roof construction teams have enough Thatchers a straight needle can be used as you will have a Thatcher at the bottom of the roof.  When an extra Thatcher is not available you can use a round thatching needle.

Thatch roof construction companies don't need a lot of expensive tools.
Thatching is done by cutting the grass with a sickle and the sickle is also used to clean the bundles.  Any flat board can be used to butt or straighten the bundles before using them for roof thatching.

A comb made of wire nails in a length of pole is used by Thatchers to comb the bundles for a more even finish when thatching.  Roof thatching will further require straight needles and curved needles for keeping and securing bundles to the thatch roof construction.

Thatch roof construction companies will need a climbing hook for every Thatcher doing roof thatching.  These tools will enable the Thatchers to have a foot rest when thatching.  With roof thatching it is possible to have an aesthetic, secure and easily erected thatched roof for your home or lapa.
