Mc Sythetic Thatch installation guide

Measure: First, measure and mark the areas where you want to apply the thatch on your roofing structure.

Cut: Based on your measurements, use a razor knife or sharp scissors to cut the thatch runner into even segments. Begin cutting the thatch at the knots on one edge of the roll, working your way down between knots as you go.

Begin at the bottom: Start installing the thatch at the bottom edge of the roof and work in a horizontal row. Use a hammer or staple gun to attach the thatch to the roof, and check to ensure you are installing it with the rough, shaggy side facing up and the woven, knotted side facing down.

Overlap: Make sure to leave a 30 to 40 cm overhang for full, natural-looking coverage, and install your thatch at roughly 30 to 35 cm on center.

Double your layers: For a complete, fuller look, consider installing a double layer of thatch. Along with improving the appearance of your structure, a double layer of thatch will increase the water-resistant properties of the roof

Work all the way to the ridge: Apply thatch in horizontal rows until you reach the ridgeline of your roof. Once you've completed the base layer, cut smaller sections of thatch to cover the ridge and hips of the roof.

Finishing touches: Using Cutters, trim the bottom of the overhang to create a more finished, polished look
