Materials & supplies in Benoni: local notes
Benoni sits on the Mpumalanga side of Gauteng, so grass from the eastern grasslands has a short trip in on the N12 or R21. A <a href="/thatch-sealer/">sealer or anti-fungal treatment</a> is worth asking about for lakeside roofs under willows and other big trees. Treated poles for farm lapas and stables are available on the holdings; ask about the right hazard class for posts in wet ground.
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.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners: grass for a garden lapa, a top-up over a thin patch or a full re-thatch of the house
- Estate homes and HOAs: grass that matches the colour and finish of neighbouring roofs under the estate guidelines
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: grass for re-thatching a cottage or patching a worn guest room roof between bookings
