Benoni notes on materials & supplies
Benoni sits on the Mpumalanga side of Gauteng, so grass from the eastern grasslands has a short trip in on the N12 or R21. A <a href="/thatch-sealer/">sealer or anti-fungal treatment</a> is worth asking about for lakeside roofs under willows and other big trees. Treated poles for farm lapas and stables are available on the holdings; ask about the right hazard class for posts in wet ground.
Benoni: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Benoni is known for its lakes, and the homes around them account for much of its thatch. Lakeside houses in Lakefield and Farrarmere often have a thatched lapa or boathouse style roof looking over the water, and Rynfield's big stands carry pool lapas and some full thatched homes. North of town the agricultural holdings and Putfontein plots add farm lapas, stables and venues. Water nearby keeps the air damper on still mornings, so roofs facing the lakes under trees can grow moss faster than the Highveld average. Benoni also has thatchers of its own, which helps the whole East Rand when it comes to finding a crew.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: treating a cleaned roof that sits under trees or faces south
- Farms and smallholdings: protecting farm lapas and rondavels that are hard to re-thatch often
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treating a wedding lapa roof before the busy season
