Polokwane notes on roofs & lapas
Bendor and Flora Park have many garden <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapas</a> and entertainment areas, and estates around the city often have guidelines on thatch and roof shapes. Guesthouses and venues use larger lapas and bomas, and game farms outside town build chalets and rondavels. Check the estate rules and the municipality's plan requirements before you commission a <a href="/new-thatch-roofs/">new roof</a>.
Polokwane: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, set on a dry plateau where summers are hot and the rain arrives in thunderstorms. In Bendor, Flora Park and the newer estates, garden lapas, thatched entertainment areas and some thatched homes are common. Guesthouses and conference venues around the city use thatch, and game farms and lodges spread out toward the Waterberg and along the roads north. The dry climate helps roofs dry fast after rain, but lightning and veld fires in the dry season are real concerns. Polokwane has its own thatchers and pole yards, and crews from here often work across the province, from Mankweng to the bushveld farms.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: a thatch umbrella over the pool loungers or a small gazebo in the garden
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a gazebo for the ceremony or a thatched bar at a garden venue
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: thatch umbrellas over garden tables for breakfast outside
