Tzaneen notes on materials & supplies
Grass is trucked in for most jobs, and treated poles come from regional yards and the timber country nearby. Ask that poles are pressure treated to a class that suits damp ground. In the wet valley, a water repellent or anti-fungal <a href="/thatch-sealer/">sealer</a> can slow moss, and some owners in the misty hills consider synthetic thatch for outbuildings; ask about fire ratings.
Thatch in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in the green Letaba valley below Magoebaskloof, surrounded by mango, avocado, banana and citrus farms. It is one of the wettest corners of Limpopo, with humid summers and mist rolling down from the mountains, so thatch here fights damp more than heat. Farmhouses, guesthouses and cottages around Politsi, Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof often have thatched roofs, and lodges toward Letsitele and the bushveld edge use thatch on chalets. Roofs under big trees or in misty forest clearings stay wet for long spells and grow moss. Thatchers are based in town and in Polokwane, and they know the extra care these hills ask for.
Typical thatch fire retardant requests in the area come from:
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a treated lapa and cottage roofs near braai areas and guest fires
- Farms and smallholdings: protecting farm lapas and rondavels when winter veld fires run
- Game lodges and bush camps: regular treatment of chalets and bomas in veld fire country
