What to know locally in Sasolburg

Sasolburg: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Sasolburg is a petrochemical town, and in its own streets thatch is not common: honest answers start there. The thatch is near the water. Vaalpark has garden lapas beside homes, and the Vaal River and the Vaal Dam at Deneysville have river plots, holiday houses, resorts and riverside venues where thatched lapas, cottages and gazebos suit the setting. Farms toward Coalbrook and the Free State side carry lapas too. Highveld summers bring thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry with grass fires. Crews from the Vaal Triangle, Johannesburg's south and the Free State all work here, so quotes can come from several directions.
The requests we see from Sasolburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a reed roof on a Cape style home or a reed ceiling in the living room or lapa
- Resorts and holiday parks: reed ceilings in units where a grass roof outside would need more upkeep
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: reed roofs and ceilings on wedding venues and chapels in the winelands
