The Thatched Cottage Gets a New Roof - 3

The ends of the reed are trimmed and patted into place to create neat edges. The straw ridge will have a covering of wire netting to protect it from birds.

Scaffolding and short ladders make it easy to navigate the roof!

The straw ridge is trimmed into an even and decorative pattern using Joseph Bentley hand shears.
