Ideal for DIY thatching garden structures, Tiki bars, beach huts, gazebos, summer houses, beach cabanas or your man cave. Also ideal for commercial applications like theme parks, poolside etc due to its long life and washable surface.
A flexible strip along the top is securely bonded to the cape reed tile allowing it to flex around corners and accommodate almost any roof shape.
Easy installation. Simply clip onto a 6 mm wire, rod or cord attached to the roof structure. Alternatively, screw directly through the top of the tile into your frame. Tiles can be easily cut to fit.
For weather proofing and lifespan your roof pitch should be at least 30 degrees pitch.
Apply in layers from the bottom of the roof in 30 cm (12") steps up.
This tile is designed for shade rather than being water repellent. If your thatch needs to be water tight you should board or line your roof structure.
What you need:
Each layer going up the roof is made up of Thatch Tiles until you reach the top layer.
If your roof is square, or has very pronounced hips, you will need Corner Tiles these get you around a 90-degree corner. When calculating your needs, these take the place of 1/4 of a tile to both faces.
The peak or ridge of the thatch is the Top Cone. If your thatch has a long ridge you can use the Ridge Mouldings with 1/2 Top cones to finish the ends.
Allow approx. 3.5 tiles per m square (10' square).
