Sasolburg notes on roofs & lapas

In Sasolburg itself, most thatch is a braai <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> in Vaalpark. The bigger work is on the water: holiday houses, resorts and venues at Deneysville and along the Vaal River use thatched lapas, cottages and <a href="/thatch-gazebos/">gazebos</a>. Check with the municipality about plans and fire distances, and with any resort or body corporate about its own rules before building.

Thatch in Sasolburg

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.

  • Homeowners: a braai or pool lapa sized for the family table and placed out of the wind
  • Resorts and holiday parks: a central entertainment lapa and small braai lapas beside the units
