What to know locally in Roodepoort
Pole yards and thatch suppliers are scattered along the western plots, so treated poles and laths can often be fetched by bakkie the same week. <a href="/thatch-grass/">Grass</a> comes from further afield and arrives after the winter cut. Venue owners covering large roofs should ask about a <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> with a certificate, and how often the maker says it must be reapplied.
Roodepoort: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Roodepoort's west side is where the city turns into plots. Ruimsig, Honeydew and the holdings toward Muldersdrift have wedding and function venues under large thatched halls, small guesthouses, and family homes with lapas on an acre or more. Closer to Florida and Weltevredenpark the stands are suburban and lapas are smaller. The Witwatersberg ridge and the rocky koppies near the botanical gardens catch summer storms, and the open grassland on the plots dries out in winter, which makes firebreaks and fire retardant real questions for venue owners. Many crews and pole yards are based in this western corridor, so travel costs are usually modest.
Typical synthetic thatch requests in the area come from:
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a wedding or function roof that needs a fire rated covering
- Homeowners: a pool lapa or coastal home roof that keeps the thatch look with less upkeep
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a breakfast patio or pool bar roof that stays neat between seasons
