thatched roofing
Woven reed shelter
Thatched roofing is a roof covering made from dried plant materials—typically straw, reeds, or palm fronds—layered to shed water.
The technique dates back millennia and remains common in parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Thatched roofs are prized for their rustic appearance and natural insulation: The cottage had traditional thatched roofing that needed replacing every twenty years.
