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.
Vanderbijlpark: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
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.
