Potchefstroom notes on repairs & protection
Old trees make Potchefstroom gardens pleasant but keep some roofs damp, so moss <a href="/thatch-roof-cleaning/">cleaning</a>, combing and cutting back branches are common jobs. Highveld storms make lightning masts worth having, and insurers often ask for them. Buyers of thatched homes in the older suburbs often ask for an inspection before transfer. Rats and birds nest in lapas that stand unused over the holidays.
Thatch in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is an old university town on the Mooi River, with oak-lined streets, large gardens and a steady demand for lapas. Homes in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park often have a thatched lapa by the pool, and student houses and guesthouses near the campus use thatch for braai areas. Along the Mooi River and toward the Vaal near Parys, river plots, venues and holiday houses carry thatch roofs. Highveld summers bring thunderstorms and lightning; winters are dry and frosty. Shaded gardens under big trees keep some roofs damp, so cleaning and combing matter here more than on open farmland. Thatchers work from town and from Gauteng.
