The item is made from natural African Cape Reed materials
and is combined to form this tile/panel. This item is made close to
waterproof if installed at a 30 degree pitch. The reeds are formed into this
panel shape using a brown UV resistant rubbery compound. On the top edge you
will find about 6 plastic clips that can be attached to 1/4 inch metal rounds
for easy installation. This product is manufactured in South Africa. There are
also matching roofing top caps also available as seen in some example pictures. African Reed is a great insulator compared to
more modern roofing materials and is said to be 10+ degrees cooler underneath.
It can last upwards of 8-10 years outdoors depending on the climate. New
African Reed is a beautiful color as our pictures show and over time will
weather to a natural light gray. African Reed works with many styles, themes,
and designs. Some of these include tropical, Hawaiian, island, tiki, beach,
nautical, primitive, Mexican, vacation and many more. African Reed is a great
covering for tiki huts, palapas, gazebos, umbrellas, cabanas, garden
structures, tree houses, play structures, chiringuitos, chickee huts and more.
This material can be found all around the world at amusement parks, resorts,
beaches, restaurants, productions, backyards, fairs, stores, parks etc. The
Reeds are very rigid and can withstand high winds if attached securely. They
are made from mature Cape Reeds that have been growing for 5-7 years and so
have a strong fully developed fiber core for maximum strength and durability.
Cape Reed is a great sustainable renewable resource. Enjoy the beauty of
natural African Cape Reed thatch for your next project.
