What to know locally in Roodepoort
Big thatched function halls and reception venues are a Roodepoort speciality, especially in Ruimsig and toward Muldersdrift. These are wide spans with high pitches, and the frame matters as much as the thatch. For <a href="/new-thatch-roofs/">new roofs</a> on large buildings, ask for an engineer's input on the pole frame and get approved plans before the crew starts. Suburban Florida homes more often want a modest lapa.
Roodepoort: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Roodepoort's west side is where the city turns into plots. Ruimsig, Honeydew and the holdings toward Muldersdrift have wedding and function venues under large thatched halls, small guesthouses, and family homes with lapas on an acre or more. Closer to Florida and Weltevredenpark the stands are suburban and lapas are smaller. The Witwatersberg ridge and the rocky koppies near the botanical gardens catch summer storms, and the open grassland on the plots dries out in winter, which makes firebreaks and fire retardant real questions for venue owners. Many crews and pole yards are based in this western corridor, so travel costs are usually modest.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a gazebo for the ceremony or a thatched bar at a garden venue
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: several thatch umbrellas on the terrace or a thatched beach bar
- Homeowners: a thatch umbrella over the pool loungers or a small gazebo in the garden
