Randburg notes on roofs & lapas
A typical Randburg job is a rectangular <a href="/thatch-lapas/">braai lapa</a> of a few metres against the back of the garden, with paving and a built braai. On medium stands, keep the braai chimney well above the thatch with a spark arrestor and check fire distances to the boundary. Older homes in Linden and Blairgowrie sometimes have a thatched carport or patio roof that needs work.
Who builds with thatch in Randburg
Randburg's thatch is mostly at a garden scale. Ferndale, Linden and Blairgowrie are settled suburbs with family homes on medium stands, and the usual thatched structure is a braai lapa or a carport style roof beside the house rather than a full thatched home. That brings one issue to the front: boundary distances. On a smaller stand a lapa can end up too close to the neighbour's wall or to the house itself, so check with the municipality before you build. Northcliff Hill is one of the highest points in the city, and homes on its slopes see their share of lightning. Crews come in from Fourways and the West Rand.
