The process of preparing the material itself takes a lot of time: after collecting, it is manually sorted out of branches, foliage, herbs, etc. D., and then – form sheaves (50 pieces in 1 bmp). The storage of the material should be carried out only in dry rooms.
In addition to reeds, rogoz is also used as an environmentally friendly product (one or two meter perennial plant). Unlike Rogoz’s reeds, it is not void inside, which increases its ability to heat – and sound insulation. The roof of the ceremony itself has a completely different species, since the stems of the ceremony are larger than the reeds. The difference is not significant, so the choice is only for the client, what exactly to choose as a material. Not every roof (in its structural feature) can be covered with reeds. I personally have no doubt about the angle of slope (at least 35 °). And also do not use waterproofing when installing: the roof should have access to both external and internal ventilation. We use the roof roof technology that our ancestors from central Ukraine have tried in practice: the sheaves of reeds are stitched with a stump rope or stainless wire. The rope can be used not only as an auxiliary tool for installing the roof, but also a decorative element for the roof of the roof of the canopies or arbors.
If suddenly the reed roof is seriously damaged, then do not overlap the entire roof completely, it is enough to partially replace it. In addition, after some time, the color of the new site will merge with the entire roof.
Roof installation occurs behind two consistent stages: first you need to lay the reeds, then flash it with a special wire/thread, or “screw” it with a screwdriver for the restoration.

As for me, it makes no special difference where to get the material (from the Black, Baltic or Azov Sea),. The main thing is not to mix reeds from different regions during installation, so it has different shades. As a consequence of several years, the color is leveled and the difference will not be visible, but the client may remain dissatisfied immediately after the roof. Many people think that the material is pre-processed by some solutions-but in fact, the roof after installation is treated with a fireproof composition. This procedure should be repeated every 2-3 years. In Europe, reed roofs do not process at all, in our country this is more for human calm than for the safety of the roof. The European client opens his choice on the reed only because it is an environmentally friendly product, as well as a persistent in all its characteristics.
Only specialists should be involved in the installation process of this type of roof, because the quality of the roof operation also depends on the quality of installation. It is also worth considering the moment that the installation in the winter is not the best option. In the spring, when the frosts end, and the snow melts, the stuffing can weaken.
About the trees on the proximity of the roof – there is nothing wrong with that. In this case, ventilation is also possible, though you will have to constantly clean the foliage or coniferous needles.
The slope angle should not be less than 35 °, or even more, so that the period of operation is larger and the roof does not rot. The installation of waterproofing does not make any sense, since it is still damaged by the installation of reeds.
If a team of specialized installers is engaged in the installation of a roof from reeds, then as a result the cost of this type of roof will become much higher than, for example, from metal tiles. That is why the reed roofing will forever remain in the status of an elite construction design.
