Wattle

Wattle is a traditional construction material made from flexible, woven branches, twigs, or vines, often combined with mud or clay to form walls. It has been used for centuries in building fences, houses, and other structures due to its strength, flexibility, and availability. The weaving process creates a lattice that, when filled with a stabilizing substance like mud, provides insulation and support. Wattle is environmentally friendly, sustainable, and allows for good airflow, making it effective in various climates. Today, it is also appreciated for its cultural heritage and eco-conscious building practices.
