What to know locally in Benoni
Lakefield and Farrarmere homes on the water often want a <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> or entertainment area placed for the view. On Putfontein and the northern holdings, farm lapas and thatched stables are common, and Rynfield has the larger <a href="/thatch-houses/">thatched houses</a>. Check with the municipality before building near the water's edge, as extra rules can apply close to lakes and dams.
Who builds with thatch in Benoni
Benoni is known for its lakes, and the homes around them account for much of its thatch. Lakeside houses in Lakefield and Farrarmere often have a thatched lapa or boathouse style roof looking over the water, and Rynfield's big stands carry pool lapas and some full thatched homes. North of town the agricultural holdings and Putfontein plots add farm lapas, stables and venues. Water nearby keeps the air damper on still mornings, so roofs facing the lakes under trees can grow moss faster than the Highveld average. Benoni also has thatchers of its own, which helps the whole East Rand when it comes to finding a crew.

- Homeowners: a thatch umbrella over the pool loungers or a small gazebo in the garden
