A thatched roof is a traditional type of roofing. Dried reeds, called thatch, are used for this purpose.
The craft of thatching was submitted by the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage and confirmed as such in 2014.
Thatch was one of the first roofing materials used by settled humans.
The first documented thatched roofs date back to 4000 BC.
Thatched roofs should have a pitch of over 45 degrees to allow water droplets to slide from stalk to stalk. Thatched roofs have a large roof overhang because they lack gutters.
Typically, a roof needs to be replaced after 30 to 50 years at the latest.
