What to know locally in Krugersdorp
A <a href="/thatch-fire-protection/">fire plan</a> is central out here: a firebreak around every thatched building before winter, drenchers or a fire retardant on the main roofs, and extinguishers at each chalet. Lightning masts on ridges and koppies need good earthing in rocky ground, so ask the installer how they will achieve it. Lodges also ask for a yearly inspection report to keep their insurer satisfied.
Krugersdorp: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Krugersdorp is the gateway to some of Gauteng's most thatched countryside. North of town, Muldersdrift and the Cradle of Humankind are full of guest lodges, conference venues, wedding halls and country homes with thatched roofs among the koppies and grassland, and the road on toward Magaliesburg adds more of the same. In town, Noordheuwel and Monument have family homes with lapas. The open veld is the defining risk: in winter the grass is tinder dry and fires run quickly, while in summer the ridges draw lightning. Thatchers and pole suppliers in the Muldersdrift area work this whole stretch.
The requests we see from Krugersdorp usually come from:
- Game lodges and bush camps: chalets checked for rats, borer and wasps before the season
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a wedding lapa cleared of nests before the busy season
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a wasp nest removed from a guest room eave safely
