What to know locally in Tzaneen
Moss and rot are the main enemies in the Letaba valley, so <a href="/thatch-roof-cleaning/">cleaning</a>, combing and cutting back branches are frequent jobs. Pressure washing can damage the thatch; ask how it is done. A yearly inspection before the rains is worth it. Lightning protection still matters in summer storms, and borer and termites in poles should be checked during any <a href="/rethatching/">re-thatch</a>.
Who builds with thatch in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits in the green Letaba valley below Magoebaskloof, surrounded by mango, avocado, banana and citrus farms. It is one of the wettest corners of Limpopo, with humid summers and mist rolling down from the mountains, so thatch here fights damp more than heat. Farmhouses, guesthouses and cottages around Politsi, Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof often have thatched roofs, and lodges toward Letsitele and the bushveld edge use thatch on chalets. Roofs under big trees or in misty forest clearings stay wet for long spells and grow moss. Thatchers are based in town and in Polokwane, and they know the extra care these hills ask for.

- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a mossy roof cleaned so the building looks well kept to guests
