Randfontein notes on materials & supplies
DIY builders in Randfontein often buy their own <a href="/gum-poles/">gum poles</a>, laths and grass from yards in Krugersdorp and Muldersdrift, a short drive away. Ask the supplier how many bundles a square metre takes at the thickness you want, and order a few extra. Binding wire, a thatching needle and a leggett are worth buying properly rather than improvising.
Thatch in Randfontein
Randfontein grew up around the gold mines, and its town suburbs are mostly tin and tile rather than thatch. Where thatch does appear is on the edges: plots and smallholdings outside town and toward Westonaria, farm lapas, the occasional thatched guest cottage, and braai lapas in Greenhills family gardens. That makes most requests here modest ones: a new lapa, a re-thatch of an older one, or poles and grass for a DIY job. Few thatchers are based in the town itself, so most come from Krugersdorp, Muldersdrift or Roodepoort. Highveld storms are as fierce here as anywhere, and lightning on open farmland is a real risk.
Who asks for thatch-look roof tiles around Randfontein, most often first:
- Homeowners: re-roofing a worn thatch house in tiles while keeping its rounded shape
- Farms and smallholdings: replacing thatch on an old farmhouse when re-thatching no longer makes sense
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a tiled hall roof where fire rules or the insurer ask for a change
