Klerksdorp notes on repairs & protection
Thunderstorms over the open country make lightning protection a real concern for lapas and farmhouses; a free-standing mast installed to the SANS standard is the usual answer. After hail, get a <a href="/thatch-roof-repairs/">repair</a> done before the next rain gets in. Farms need firebreaks in winter. Rats and birds often get into lapas that are not used much, so check them before summer.
Klerksdorp: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Klerksdorp grew on gold, and the mining towns around it, Stilfontein and Orkney, are mostly brick and iron, so thatch here is a matter of lapas and farms rather than whole streets. Flamwood and the leafier suburbs have garden lapas and some thatched homes. The Schoonspruit runs through town, and the Vaal River near Orkney has river plots and holiday spots where thatch suits the setting. Out toward Hartbeesfontein, maize and cattle farms have lapas and the occasional rondavel. Summers bring thunderstorms and lightning across the flat country; winters are dry and cold. Local thatchers are few, and many jobs are quoted by crews from Potchefstroom or Gauteng.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Homeowners: moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated
- Farms and smallholdings: the farmhouse and lapa cleaned and trees cut back from the eaves
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: the wedding lapa cleaned before the photo season
