  1. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes, heather, or palm branches, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. Since the bulk of the vegetation stays dry and is densely packed—trapping air—thatching also functions as insulation.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thatching
    Thatched roofing is a traditional method that involves using dry fibers such as straw, reeds, palm trees and other natural fibers to create a roof covering. These are grouped and interwoven with a certain tension to form a surface, which through successive overlaps becomes impermeable and almost impenetrable to rodents and pests.
