Before the reed gets to your roof its cut with traditional binders and stooked to dry for 10-20 days. Then the reed is passed through a reed comber which removes all the grains, leaves and weeds the reed is then ready to be bundled through a trusser. We receive all of our wheat reed directly from an English wheat reed Farmer.<\/p>\n<p>Wheat reed roofs will have a more rounded appearance compared to water reed jobs. This is due to the way that the reed is applied. The roof would be stripped down to a base layer of 8 -10 inches and the eaves and gables will be replaced with an overhang of no less than 12 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Wheat reed will have a life span of around 25-30 years and will require a new ridge every 12 -15 years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
