Materials & supplies in Limpopo: local notes
Thatch grass grows in parts of Limpopo, and more is trucked from Mpumalanga, so ask where the <a href="/thatch-grass/">bundles</a> come from and how long they are. Eucalyptus plantations near Tzaneen and Haenertsburg mean treated <a href="/gum-poles/">poles</a> are not far for the eastern side. Termites and borer are a real risk in the bushveld, so ask about the treatment class of poles in contact with the ground. Fire retardant is widely used on lodges.
Who builds with thatch in Limpopo
Limpopo is game lodge country. The private reserves around Hoedspruit and the Kruger side near Phalaborwa, and the Waterberg plateau near Vaalwater and Lephalale, are full of thatched chalets, dining bomas, reception buildings and staff housing. Hunting farms and bush camps across the bushveld add lapas and rondavels by the dozen. Tzaneen and the Magoebaskloof hills are greener, with mist, high rainfall and forest, so thatch there stays damp and grows moss. Polokwane and Mokopane have suburban lapas and thatched homes on smallholdings. Summers are hot, with heavy storms and lightning, and the dry winter months are veld fire season. Lodges in remote reserves often need crews who camp on site.
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
- 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
