A good use for sweet chestnut poles and posts is to build a dodecagon (12 sided) framed, self supporting reciprocal rafter roof, gazebo type structure.

The uneven roof created can ideally be thatched or sheeted together with wattle & daub or plank walls.

Those interested in exploring the technical and practical aspects of employing this type of roof system should consult :-
