I have a very simple question. For a thatch roof covering of approximately 250mm thickness with a slope of 45 degrees what would be the loading? I am assuming that the wet condition would govern but I figure it may be too conservative to assume complete saturation through the thickness. Has anyone else come across this problem? Carl Bauer
