Materials & supplies in Brits: local notes
With many thatchers working around the dam, materials are easy to source: treated gum poles and laths are sold along the N4 and the roads into Pretoria, and grass is trucked in from the Highveld after the winter harvest. Ask what grade of grass is quoted and how many bundles per square metre. Some dam-side venues prefer <a href="/synthetic-thatch/">synthetic thatch</a> for umbrellas and decks; ask about the fire rating.
Who builds with thatch in Brits
Brits is a farming and factory town, but the thatch story here is really the Hartbeespoort Dam a short drive east. Around the dam, Schoemansville and the estates on the Magaliesberg slopes are full of thatched homes, lapas, restaurants and weekend houses, and many thatchers are based in the area or come out from Pretoria. In Brits itself, garden lapas and farm buildings on the irrigated land along the Crocodile River make up most of the work. Summers are hot, with thunderstorms and lightning; winters are dry, and the mountain slopes burn. Estates around the dam usually have architectural guidelines, so check them before you design anything.

- Homeowners: a treated roof and a certificate before the insurer's renewal or a sale
