Midrand notes on materials & supplies
With the N1 and R55 on its doorstep, Midrand is easy to deliver to. Bundles of grass usually come from Mpumalanga or the Free State, and treated <a href="/gum-poles/">gum poles</a> for lapas, stables and paddock shelters are stocked by yards on the plots between here and Pretoria. Order poles for stables at the right treatment class for contact with the ground and with animals nearby, and ask the yard.
Thatch in Midrand
Midrand sits halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and its thatch follows the land. Kyalami, Glen Austin and the agricultural holdings around Blue Hills still have horse paddocks, big plots and thatched homes with stables, cottages and entertainment lapas set back from the road. Newer areas like Waterfall and Carlswald lean toward modern roofs, though some buyers there still want a thatched pool lapa or a gazebo. On open plots a roof is exposed on every side, so a hail storm can strip the weather face fast and lightning has few taller targets nearby. The good news is choice: crews from both cities pass through every day, and pole yards and grass suppliers are within easy reach.
