What to know locally in Krugersdorp
Grass for lodge roofs is often bought in bulk straight after the winter harvest, when the best long bundles are available. Store it under cover and off the ground. Treated <a href="/gum-poles/">gum poles</a> are easy to find around Muldersdrift. Some lodges near the venues have tried synthetic thatch on small structures; ask for its fire rating and certificate before buying.
Krugersdorp: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Krugersdorp is the gateway to some of Gauteng's most thatched countryside. North of town, Muldersdrift and the Cradle of Humankind are full of guest lodges, conference venues, wedding halls and country homes with thatched roofs among the koppies and grassland, and the road on toward Magaliesburg adds more of the same. In town, Noordheuwel and Monument have family homes with lapas. The open veld is the defining risk: in winter the grass is tinder dry and fires run quickly, while in summer the ridges draw lightning. Thatchers and pole suppliers in the Muldersdrift area work this whole stretch.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Game lodges and bush camps: slowing moss and rot on chalets in humid bush and under big trees
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treating a wedding lapa roof before the busy season
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: treating cottage roofs after cleaning so they look tidy for guests
