How Villagers Build Roofs Today

In rural China, they still build rooftops the old-fashioned way—but with a twist. What you’re seeing looks like a classic Chinese tile roof, but the material isn’t the usual clay. These are modern composite tiles, designed to look traditional while being lighter and more durable. The base starts with round wooden beams, often pine, laid over mud-packed walls. Workers drill holes and hammer in wooden pegs—no nails or screws holding the main structure. Then they lay down narrow wooden slats across the beams. These help hold the tiles in place. First, they align the bottom edge with eave tiles. Then, piece by piece, they climb upward, locking each tile into the next. For the top ridge, they use curved tiles that overlap like armor. The result? A roof that looks like it’s been there for a century—but it’s built with updated materials that last longer. Would you trust this mix of old methods and new parts for your own home?
