Who builds with thatch in Polokwane
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, set on a dry plateau where summers are hot and the rain arrives in thunderstorms. In Bendor, Flora Park and the newer estates, garden lapas, thatched entertainment areas and some thatched homes are common. Guesthouses and conference venues around the city use thatch, and game farms and lodges spread out toward the Waterberg and along the roads north. The dry climate helps roofs dry fast after rain, but lightning and veld fires in the dry season are real concerns. Polokwane has its own thatchers and pole yards, and crews from here often work across the province, from Mankweng to the bushveld farms.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: treating a cleaned roof that sits under trees or faces south
- 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
