Boksburg notes on roofs & lapas
Boksburg owners often want a <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> that runs off the back of the house as an outdoor room. That is cheaper than a freestanding one but needs careful detailing where the thatch meets the house roof, and a check with the municipality on fire rules for thatch so close to the house. Freestanding round lapas by the pool are the other common request.
Thatch in Boksburg
Boksburg is a working East Rand town where thatch shows up in family back gardens rather than on the skyline. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park have plenty of rectangular braai lapas joined to the house or built beside the pool, and around Boksburg Lake some homes and venues have thatched entertainment areas. Jet Park and Witfield are industrial, and Atlasville sits close to the airport. A lapa attached to the house raises its own questions: the join between the thatch and the tiled roof is a classic leak point, and fire rules for thatch close to the house need checking. Crews are usually drawn from Benoni, Kempton Park and Pretoria East.
Typical thatch roofs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a steep thatched roof on the family home, kept sound with a yearly check before the rains
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: a thatched restaurant or beer garden roof with fire protection the insurer accepts
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: thatched rooms and a lapa that need to look neat for guests all year
