I was wondering how long it took the workers to put the thatching on my roof (it's a large, steep roof on a traditional Japanese home). It must have become a challenge to maintain since they covered it with copper a few decades back. How long does it take you to thatch a regular-sized home?

How is this different from the way they do it on Japanese farmhouses? Just curious. I think the reeds lay a different way? And on top of the timber frame they have a board/sheets of woven bamboo for water proofing I think. I don't know but damn, I want to build my own house so bad and go back to nature.

If you live in America, you can forget that plan. American building code would not allow thatching for a residential project.

There are 2 type of hooked rod you used, where did you stick both rod? Is it on the horizontal wood or to the wood/plywood or anything material beneath the fireproof lining?? And also i saw the process when i was in Holland they use wire to tighten to horizontal metal rod.
@NineStones4 жыл бұрын
The two hooks are of different lengths and are driven into the rafters at different angles to secure the steel rods that holds the thatch to the roof. An alternative method, also used in this country (UK) is to drive a screw into the rafter with a wire attached which is then tightened and tied off above the thatch layer. The next layer of thatch then covers this fixing, as with the hook method. The metal hook method is more traditional, the screw and wire method more modern and probably a faster method of fixing.

Why is Thatching still used for roofs in Ireland when there are other materials available like asphalt shingles and tile which would last much longer. Is it a love of tradition and culture which has kept this type of roof structure alive.?

The Insulation properties are obvious. Cool inside in the summer and warm in the Winter. It holds about 40 years - not too bad.

@NineStones3 жыл бұрын
Yes it's rainproof. Because of the angle or pitch of the roof (minimum 45 degrees) rain is shed quickly. Water may only penetrate 25mm in to the 300mm thick thatch.
