Materials & supplies in Kempton Park: local notes
Grass and poles come in from East Rand and Pretoria suppliers, a short trip on the R21. Guesthouses often look at a <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> with a certificate because guests and insurers ask about it. For a small breakfast gazebo, some owners consider synthetic thatch for its low upkeep: ask about its fire rating and how it looks next to real grass.
Kempton Park: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Living next to the country's busiest airport shapes thatch in Kempton Park. Bonaero Park and Glen Marais have many guesthouses for travellers, and a thatched lapa or breakfast area is a common feature, which means insurers and booking platforms ask questions. Birch Acres and Glen Marais also have family homes with braai lapas, while Spartan and Chloorkop are industrial. East of town, the Bredell plots have farm lapas and some thatched homes. The airport adds one practical point: for a tall lightning mast near the flight paths, ask the installer whether any height limits apply. Crews come from Benoni, Pretoria East and Midrand.
Typical thatch-look roof tiles requests in the area come from:
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a lower upkeep roof on a cottage that keeps its familiar outline
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a tiled hall roof where fire rules or the insurer ask for a change
- Homeowners: re-roofing a worn thatch house in tiles while keeping its rounded shape
