 ====Fire====
-The greatest disadvantage of thatch is that when it catches on fire, it is extremely difficult to extinguish.  Thatch roofs do not catch on fire any more frequently than other types of combustible roofs, but when they do ignite, damage is extensive.  Some insurance companies will not insure a building with a thatched roof because of this, and also because skilled thatchers are sometimes very expensive to hire.

 ====Decay==== <!--T:17-->
-Thatch is obviously an organic material, and as such, it is susceptible to decay.  To protect against this, the thatch should not be harvested until after the first frost has ended its growing season.  After it is harvested, it should be stored off the ground and under cover.  Leaves should not be allowed to accumulate on the roof of a thatched building, and the roof should be steep - at least 45° - to facilitate the rapid runoff of water.  The growth of vegetation on a thatched roof inhibits runoff, so it should be removed quickly if it takes hold.
