Wood shakes look great. A bit tricky to get hold of here. But looking into it.
vernacular architecture is mudbrick, stone, wattle and daub, reed roofing. But you need a steeper pitch for thatch.
Thanks for the help!
Hi all. I am building an adobe, rock and wood round house with a reciprocal roof. What ideas do people have for roofing. Low cost. Environmentally friendly. Living roof would be nice but we have heavy frost in winter and don't want an ugly dead roof half the year.
Thanks
