Sasolburg: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Sasolburg is a petrochemical town, and in its own streets thatch is not common: honest answers start there. The thatch is near the water. Vaalpark has garden lapas beside homes, and the Vaal River and the Vaal Dam at Deneysville have river plots, holiday houses, resorts and riverside venues where thatched lapas, cottages and gazebos suit the setting. Farms toward Coalbrook and the Free State side carry lapas too. Highveld summers bring thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry with grass fires. Crews from the Vaal Triangle, Johannesburg's south and the Free State all work here, so quotes can come from several directions.

- Homeowners: birds pulling grass from the eaves stopped with mesh and holes repaired
