Don't know if there is a thread on this already, if so powers at work can merge it if they wannna.
we are building our thatch roof as we speak. pics can be seen in the Plantation thread ere..... https://teakdoor.com/construction-in-...ond-bit-7.html (Survivor Plantation....Part II...the second bit)
here also is a website I found in Bali that sells the stuff and look at the price.....
I paid 14b for mine, but its not fire treated as this stuff is supposedly, but still...crikey. http://www.balistyle.com.au/bs_brochures/alang.pdf
Anyway, anybody els know about thatch roofing, especially the english style and wondering if that look and style can be adapted to use in the tropics here with locally available grasses and materials.
Some sites say this type of roof can last decades with only the ridge section replaced every 4 years or so....how do they achieve this ??
also anyone know how to weave the ridge cap sections, searching bali sites currently for some info and hopefully 'how to do' guidelines, but no luck yet.
