Brits notes on roofs & lapas
Hartbeespoort is one of the busiest thatch areas near Gauteng: thatched houses, guesthouses and riverside restaurants around Schoemansville and the estates under the mountain. Many owners add a pool <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> or a <a href="/thatch-gazebos/">gazebo</a> on the water. In Brits and on the farms toward Mooinooi, simpler braai lapas are common. Estates have their own guidelines and the municipality usually wants plans, so check both before work starts.
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.

- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: several thatch umbrellas on the terrace or a thatched beach bar
