The Craft of Thatching

Thatching roofs on tiny house designs are the craft of building a roof out of dried vegetation. The building materials used for thatching roofs include straw, sedge, water reed, heather, or rushes. The building process for thatching roofs is done by layering the vegetation so that it will shed the water away from the inner roof thus keeping it dry. Thatching is a very old type of roofing building method that has been used in both temperate and tropical climates. Thatching roofs are still used by builders in developing countries and is usually done with low-cost, local vegetation. In recent years thatching roofs have become more popular, and you will find in some developed countries that thatching roofs are now the choice of roofs for wealthy people who desire a more rustic look for their tiny house design or tiny home design.
