Vanderbijlpark notes on roofs & lapas
In Vanderbijlpark the thatch work is on the water: <a href="/thatch-houses/">thatched holiday homes</a>, chalets at river resorts, riverside bars and big entertainment lapas. Resort owners often re-thatch chalets one at a time in the quiet season. Check with the municipality before building near the river, as flood lines and environmental rules can apply on the banks.
Who builds with thatch in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and its grid of suburbs has little thatch. The river changes that. Along the Vaal, west of town toward Parys, riverside plots, holiday homes and resorts have thatched chalets, boathouses, bars and big lapas looking over the water, and Vaalpark across the river has homes with pool lapas. Weekend river properties are often empty during the week, so small problems can go unnoticed until they leak. Damp air by the water grows moss on shaded roofs, and birds nesting in the reeds love pulling at thatch. Most crews come from Vereeniging, the south of Johannesburg or further afield.
The requests we see from Vanderbijlpark usually come from:
- Resorts and holiday parks: a central entertainment lapa and small braai lapas beside the units
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: a bar lapa or outdoor dining area with blinds and good lighting
- Homeowners: a braai or pool lapa sized for the family table and placed out of the wind
