Polokwane notes on repairs & protection
Lightning is a serious risk on the Limpopo plateau, so <a href="/lightning-protection/">masts</a> are common on lapas and thatched homes, and insurers often ask for them. Veld fires threaten farm and lodge roofs in the dry season; firebreaks and fire protection help. Termites and borer in poles are common in the bushveld, so an inspection should check the timber. Birds pulling grass for nests leave holes that let rain in.
Polokwane: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, set on a dry plateau where summers are hot and the rain arrives in thunderstorms. In Bendor, Flora Park and the newer estates, garden lapas, thatched entertainment areas and some thatched homes are common. Guesthouses and conference venues around the city use thatch, and game farms and lodges spread out toward the Waterberg and along the roads north. The dry climate helps roofs dry fast after rain, but lightning and veld fires in the dry season are real concerns. Polokwane has its own thatchers and pole yards, and crews from here often work across the province, from Mankweng to the bushveld farms.
Typical thatch roof inspections requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a report before buying a thatched house, so there are no surprises later
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: an inspection for a new insurer before the policy starts
- Game lodges and bush camps: every chalet and the boma inspected and ranked for repairs
