An old barn being re thatched in the Dorset village of Symondsbury, Dorset UK,


An old barn being re thatched in the Dorset village of Symondsbury, Dorset UK, with wheat. Thatch is the ultimate green roofing material. It is renewable, light to transport, and provides fantastic insulating properties, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of any thatched property. A well thatched roof should be watertight and last for at least 25 years.
