TheHatGuy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The roof on my Sala needs to be replaced. I cannot find anyplace that sells or repairs Salas. I live in Sattahip and used to see them for sale across from Tesco in Pattaya. Any help is greatly appreciate. TheHatGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Cover with thatch? Highly likely there is someone in your area that can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Take a picture of it to the SCG Home Center. Thatch might be something of a fire hazard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHatGuy Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thank you for your input. I’ve been to SCG, HomePro and a few others. I’m would like to find a Sala builder who might have the authentic materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have hand riven shakes that have been painted so you need to find a woodworker who has a froe, alternatively get one made and learn to use it yourself, it isn’t rocket science, and make them. There are many kinds of wood that can be used. They will have been riven from a newly felled tree so unless they were shipped in will have come from local timber. Any local metal butcher can make a froe from an old leaf spring, probably from a truck as they have the thickness needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Make the tool. And how to make the shingles. You now have a new skill with which to impress your friends ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayceenik Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Cannot help you with the shingles but want to warn you about possible termite damage to your Sala. A few years back TGF had a Sala delivered to our new-built Sarin house in Ubon. Evert-hing fine until we went to live in our other house in her village. We visit the Ubon house rarely and soon discovered it was being attacked by termites. Had some guys spray and fix it. We have now moved it to our village house where we can keep an eye on it and repair what still needs to be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
