What to know locally in Middelburg
Middelburg is close to grassland farms in the Belfast and Hendrina direction, so <a href="/thatch-grass/">thatch grass</a> often has a short haul once the winter harvest is in. Ask the supplier about length, cleanliness and how many bundles they expect per square metre. Treated poles and laths are sold in town. For chalets near the dam, a fire retardant is worth asking about because the bushveld there burns in the dry months.
Who builds with thatch in Middelburg
Middelburg sits on the Highveld where the Olifants River country starts to drop toward the bushveld, and thatch here splits into two worlds. In town, Aerorand, Kanonkop and Eastdene have garden lapas and the odd thatched home, much like any Highveld suburb. North of town, toward the Loskop Dam, the land falls into warmer bushveld with holiday plots, game farms and weekend houses where thatch is the usual roof. Summer brings thunderstorms and lightning; winters are cold and dry. The grassland farms toward Belfast and Hendrina are thatch grass country, so in many cases materials have a short trip, and a few crews based here also take work in eMalahleni and further east.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: treating a cleaned roof that sits under trees or faces south
- Builders, architects and developers: a first treatment on a new roof as part of the handover
- Farms and smallholdings: protecting farm lapas and rondavels that are hard to re-thatch often

The jobs that come up most: suburban lapas, weekend houses and chalets toward the Loskop Dam, farm rondavels.
