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.
Who asks for thatch grass around Brits, most often first:
- 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
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: grass for an outdoor seating roof or umbrellas over tables that need regular renewal
