Bloemfontein notes on materials & supplies
Bloemfontein is close to some of the grassland farms where <a href="/thatch-grass/">thatch grass</a> is cut in winter, so grass is often easier to get here than in many cities. Ask the supplier about length, cleanliness and bundles per square metre, and store it dry. Treated poles and laths are sold in town. Fire retardants are worth asking about for farm roofs near grassland that burns in winter.
Bloemfontein: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Bloemfontein sits in the middle of the Free State, the country's grassland heart, and the province's grassland farms are one of the country's main sources of thatching grass. That makes it a natural base for thatchers and grass suppliers. In Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and the newer suburbs, garden lapas and thatched entertainment areas are common, and the smallholdings of Bainsvlei have lapas, cottages and venues. Farms across the province ask for lapas and rondavels for guests and workers. Summer brings sharp Highveld thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry, with frost and grass fires. Crews from here travel widely across the Free State and into the Northern Cape.
Typical thatch fire retardant requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a treated roof and a certificate before the insurer's renewal or a sale
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treated thatch halls where candles, heaters and events add risk
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a treated lapa and cottage roofs near braai areas and guest fires
