Hi, Rhiannon,

According to this site:

http://www.thatchco.com/thatchpg/faq.htm

"Thatch weighs only 7 pounds per square foot".

If anyone out there (are you there, Mr Gray?) wants to do the maths as to what the amount required would be to roof the structure, jump onboard........ If nothing else, it's an intriguing "take" on Stonehenge. :-)


Peace

Pilgrim

Didn't realize thatch was so light Pilgrim - interesting.

Peter has suggested hide as a roofing material. Turf I think was also used in prehistoric Britain. Can't think of anything else 'organic' - 'though in some countries bark still makes an excellent roofing material.
