Hello,
I am building a cabin and for the ceiling finish plan to install Reed mats (or other natural material like split bamboo).

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to a good affordable source for them.

Thanks.

I have a couple of questions that may help;
- what do define affordable as?
- what area are you in?
- what area do you need?
- How do you plan to attach the reeds ?
- what style do you have in mind, there are many different styles?

I have seen some beautiful uses for reed mats.

I have never used them so I don't know of any sources other than eBay.
