The construction of the roof will be completed this weekend. Can anyone give me any suggestions on where to buy the thatching material that should be used. I need about 60 sq feet of it. Also, if you have any advice on putting it on that would be great also! Have a good week, Tracey

I have contacted places on Ebay that sell and found they will deal on a larger order off Ebay. In Florida you might try Safari Thatch, but I am not sure they will sell to you retail. Same with Benson Imports. Good prices, but I don't know if they sell retail. Search for both and you'll find them.
