Thatch-eves refers to the overhanging edges of a thatched roof, where the straw or reeds extend beyond the walls of a building. This design helps to protect the walls from rain and moisture while providing shade and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of traditional structures. Thatch-eves also contribute to the insulation properties of the roof.
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.
A shiver bar is a small, narrow strip of wood that is used to attach the ends of roof thatching to the roof's surface. It helps to secure the thatch in place and provides a neat finish to the roof.
