Materials & supplies in North West: local notes
Grass for this province usually comes from the Free State and Mpumalanga, so bundle prices include a long truck trip, especially to Mahikeng and Vryburg. Brits and Rustenburg have pole and timber suppliers for <a href="/gum-poles/">treated poles</a> and laths, and Pretoria yards are close for the Hartbeespoort side. Veld fire risk on farms makes <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> a common request, and a thatch-look tile is sometimes chosen for an outbuilding.
Thatch in North West
North West has two thatch belts. In the east, Hartbeespoort Dam and the Magaliesberg are full of thatched weekend homes, river and dam-side resorts, wedding venues and estate houses, many within easy reach of Pretoria crews. Further around, the Pilanesberg holds bush lodges and bomas, and Rustenburg and Brits have smallholdings with lapas. The western half, from Lichtenburg to Mahikeng and Vryburg, is maize and cattle country, where thatch is mostly farm lapas, rondavels and the odd old farmhouse. Summers bring hot afternoons with violent thunderstorms, lightning and hail, while winters are dry and veld fires run across the grassland and bushveld. Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp sit closer to the Vaal, with river resorts and garden lapas.
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
- Game lodges and bush camps: truckloads of grass booked ahead for re-thatching chalets and bomas before the rains
- Resorts and holiday parks: bulk grass for rows of thatched units and gazebos maintained one block at a time
