Boksburg notes on materials & supplies

For a lapa attached to the house, ask the thatcher about a fire barrier or board between the thatch and the house roof space. A <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> on the finished lapa is common here too. Grass and poles arrive from East Rand and Pretoria suppliers; a small job may only need a single load on a bakkie with a trailer.

Thatch in Boksburg

Boksburg is a working East Rand town where thatch shows up in family back gardens rather than on the skyline. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park have plenty of rectangular braai lapas joined to the house or built beside the pool, and around Boksburg Lake some homes and venues have thatched entertainment areas. Jet Park and Witfield are industrial, and Atlasville sits close to the airport. A lapa attached to the house raises its own questions: the join between the thatch and the tiled roof is a classic leak point, and fire rules for thatch close to the house need checking. Crews are usually drawn from Benoni, Kempton Park and Pretoria East.

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
  • Builders, architects and developers: treatment on a newly thatched roof before handover to the owner
  • Wedding venues, schools and churches: treated thatch halls where candles, heaters and events add risk
