A lightning mast is a common request for lapas in town and is often asked for by insurers.

Thatch in Middelburg
Middelburg sits on the Highveld where the Olifants River country starts to drop toward the bushveld, and thatch here splits into two worlds. In town, Aerorand, Kanonkop and Eastdene have garden lapas and the odd thatched home, much like any Highveld suburb. North of town, toward the Loskop Dam, the land falls into warmer bushveld with holiday plots, game farms and weekend houses where thatch is the usual roof. Summer brings thunderstorms and lightning; winters are cold and dry. The grassland farms toward Belfast and Hendrina are thatch grass country, so in many cases materials have a short trip, and a few crews based here also take work in eMalahleni and further east.
Who asks for thatch roof cleaning around Middelburg, most often first:
- 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
- Game lodges and bush camps: chalets under big trees cleaned and treated before the rainy season
