If you are in the initial planning stages then you are in the right place, we would always recommend that you start with the shape of the structure you want to build and when it comes to size, use the size of the roofing material that suits your needs to help plan the size of your roof. This way you will not be retrofitting the Grass Thatch Roof to your structure which means less waste, leftover materials and ultimately less cost, which can then be spent on the interior. The type of structure you are covering or building can also be accommodated the Rain Cape Thatch, for instance, is very easy to use with no level of skills required to fit this to any existing structure but something like the Cogan grass Thatch is best layered and will require some skill to layer and secure to your roof but that is why we are here to help. Thatch is a great alternative to traditional parasols and beach umbrellas. Natural thatch umbrellas kits from Africa Roofing can be used for theming, visual effects or both shade and protection from harmful UV rays and rainy weather conditions.

If installed correctly, thatch umbrellas are 99% waterproof. How? Natural thatch is made of reeds that when bound together, resist penetration by water. To make them 100% waterproof you can use additional spraying and install a liner to prevent the liquid from falling.

The word tiki originates from ancient Polynesia and indeed the monolithic human figures carved by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island between 1250 and 1500 are the inspiration for the eponymous carved heads that watch over drinkers.

That being said, the wind will ravage your roof if not secured well that is if the birds don’t see it as bedding, the Rain Cape Thatch is the least favourited by birds but there are of course tips for the grass roofing that can be used to deter our feathered friends.

Another frequently asked question is if the Rain Cape or Grass Thatch Roofing is waterproof, the simple answer is that no amount of thatch will keep out the worst of the rain but if you are clever about the structure you are applying the thatch to then you can ensure you and your guests can sit out any storms, especially with a Mai Tai or two!
