Thatch in Polokwane
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.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: a round lapa by the pool or a rectangular one against the house for braais
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a big thatched lapa for weddings and functions with a bar and paved floor
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a shared lapa with a braai for guests, often with roll-down blinds for winter
