Specification

The thatch tiles "Versitiles"are made from South African Cape Reeds. A natural product, the Cape Reed is harvested from a replenishable source and harvesting actually promotes growth. Reeds are moulded onto a polyurethane strip. The thatch has a life expectancy of 6 - 10 years.

The central upright is made from a pressure treated machine rounded solid wood log, approx 90mm diameter.

The canopy structure that supports the thatch is made from galvanised steel in four sections which bolt together.
