A reed is a grass with firm void stem which is very much similar to bamboo. It is a strong material and reed mats are used as fortifications for structure and roof. The reed is first ripped and cleaned before it is woven in twill knit into mats. 

It is made starting at one corner and weaving is done cross ways. Elongated strips are folded at the center and one more strip is inserted diagonally, which is sequentially folded and then other strip is again put in crosswise and so on. The fold of the crosswise strips gives the formation of the edges of the mat. Reeds are as well used to make very strong baskets.
