What to know locally in Secunda
A thatched <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> beside the house is the usual request in Secunda and Trichardt, and on farms toward Bethal a larger lapa for family gatherings. Because there are few local thatchers, ask to see photos of finished work and the names of past clients you can call. Lapas usually need plans and a fire distance from the house and boundary, so check with the municipality before anything is built.
Who builds with thatch in Secunda
Secunda was built around a large fuel plant, and its suburbs are mostly tiled and sheeted roofs, so be realistic: thatch here is a lapa, not a house. Garden lapas behind homes in Secunda and Trichardt, braai areas at clubs and a few lapas on smallholdings toward Evander and Kinross make up most of the work. Out on the farmland toward Bethal, older farmhouses and lapas on maize and grazing farms carry thatch too. The flat, open Highveld here has strong summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and cold, windy winters with grass fires. Few thatchers are based in Secunda itself, so quotes often come from crews in eMalahleni, Middelburg or the East Rand.
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
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a big thatched lapa for weddings and functions with a bar and paved floor
- Builders, architects and developers: a lapa subcontractor to build and thatch beside a new house
