Summary:

"Thatch uses renewable natural resources whose production and processing can be a source of valuable rural income. Thatching is labour--rather than capital--intensive work and thatch can be laid on relatively inexpensive pole timber roof structures. This handbook is a guide to good quality thatching, describing in words and pictures how to achieve the maximum possible roof life using either cultivated or naturally occurring materials. It details the limitations of thatch--fire in particular--and what can be done to minimize these shortcomings."--Back cover.
