- The straw used for thatching must be clean. Oat, wheat or. rye straw can be used. If these cannot be obtained houses are sometimes thatched with rushes but these are not so good as straw.Rods used for thatching are called scallops, the “sally” or willow rods are best, they are. sharpened at each end and twisted to make a loop. These loops hold the thatch together. A layer of straw is put down and rods are put at the side to hold it down. It is clipped with a knife to make it look neat.
