Kimberley notes on materials & supplies
Grass, poles and laths are usually trucked a long way to Kimberley, so ask exactly what is included and what delivery costs. Thatch dries quickly here, but the strong sun weathers it, so ask about a <a href="/thatch-sealer/">treatment</a> that suits the dry heat. Some owners of small lapas choose a thatch-look tile or synthetic thatch; ask about the fire rating.
Kimberley: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Kimberley, the old diamond city, sits on flat dry plains where summers are very hot and winters frosty, and rain falls mostly in short summer storms. Thatch here is usually a garden lapa in Hadison Park or Beaconsfield, a lapa at a sports or social club, or a farm lapa and rondavel out on the cattle farms. Along the Vaal River near Barkly West and toward Ritchie on the Riet and Modder side, river plots and weekend spots use thatch on lapas and cottages. The dry air helps roofs last, but sun, wind and veld fires take their toll. Thatchers are few, and many jobs are done by crews from Bloemfontein or further.
Typical thatch grass requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: grass for a garden lapa, a top-up over a thin patch or a full re-thatch of the house
- Resorts and holiday parks: bulk grass for rows of thatched units and gazebos maintained one block at a time
- Farms and smallholdings: grass for rondavels, farm lapas and workers' houses, often from nearby veld or a local cutter
