Randfontein notes on roofs & lapas
Most Randfontein thatch work is on <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapas</a>: a round braai lapa in a Greenhills garden, a bigger one on a plot toward Westonaria, or a thatched shelter at a farm or small venue. Full thatched houses are rare in town. On a farm, a lapa set well away from the house and from stored feed keeps fire risk lower; check with the municipality on plans.
Who builds with thatch in Randfontein
Randfontein grew up around the gold mines, and its town suburbs are mostly tin and tile rather than thatch. Where thatch does appear is on the edges: plots and smallholdings outside town and toward Westonaria, farm lapas, the occasional thatched guest cottage, and braai lapas in Greenhills family gardens. That makes most requests here modest ones: a new lapa, a re-thatch of an older one, or poles and grass for a DIY job. Few thatchers are based in the town itself, so most come from Krugersdorp, Muldersdrift or Roodepoort. Highveld storms are as fierce here as anywhere, and lightning on open farmland is a real risk.
Typical thatch lapas requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a round lapa by the pool or a rectangular one against the house for braais
- Builders, architects and developers: a lapa subcontractor to build and thatch beside a new house
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: an outdoor seating lapa or beer garden with lights and blinds
