You can use 1) natural thatch roof materials such as water reeds and 2) synthetic thatch roof materials. I recommend the latter if you are planning to put up a long lasting, durable thatch roof.
Especially bamboo house in Assam have thatch roof.
A thatcher was, and still is, a person who makes a roof for a building using plant material. In the UK thatch is usually made from wheat straw (stalks). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thatch
Thatch roof pricing typically ranges from $50 to $100 per square meter, depending on factors such as the type of thatch used, the complexity of the roof design, and local labor costs. In some regions, prices may be higher due to material availability or craftsmanship requirements. It's advisable to obtain quotes from local thatchers for a more accurate estimate based on specific project needs.
Thatch is traditionally made from dried vegetation such as straw, reeds, or palm leaves. These materials are layered closely together in a specific pattern on a roof structure to provide insulation and protection from the elements. The process involves skillfully weaving the thatch material to create a durable and weather-resistant covering.
i dont know what that means You tell me ;P
Painting a thatched roof can be challenging. It is best to use a stain as it will sink into the thatch material. After you have applied 2-3 coats of stain, you will want to use a sealer to protect it from the elements.
They used rammed and thatch on the roof and sides :)
A stone age roof would likely be made of thatch, which is a type of roofing material made from plant stalks or other natural materials. This would provide protection from the elements while being readily available and easy to construct. Stones may also have been used as support structures or to weigh down the thatch.
Here's one The thatch roof was so leaky it was raining inside!
I am going to take that question to mean "what was a peasant's roof made of in medieval times?" The most common, and least expensive way, to construct a roof was using a material called thatch. A thatch roof is made of thick mats of dried vegetation such as grass, reeds, sedge, etc. When properly constructed it is water and wind proof, and also an excellent insulator, helping to keep houses cool in summer and warm in winter.
You can use palm fronds to thatch,or cover, the roof of your hut.
