What to know locally in Roodepoort
Pole yards and thatch suppliers are scattered along the western plots, so treated poles and laths can often be fetched by bakkie the same week. <a href="/thatch-grass/">Grass</a> comes from further afield and arrives after the winter cut. Venue owners covering large roofs should ask about a <a href="/thatch-fire-retardant/">fire retardant</a> with a certificate, and how often the maker says it must be reapplied.
Roodepoort: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Roodepoort's west side is where the city turns into plots. Ruimsig, Honeydew and the holdings toward Muldersdrift have wedding and function venues under large thatched halls, small guesthouses, and family homes with lapas on an acre or more. Closer to Florida and Weltevredenpark the stands are suburban and lapas are smaller. The Witwatersberg ridge and the rocky koppies near the botanical gardens catch summer storms, and the open grassland on the plots dries out in winter, which makes firebreaks and fire retardant real questions for venue owners. Many crews and pole yards are based in this western corridor, so travel costs are usually modest.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- 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
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a lower upkeep roof on a cottage that keeps its familiar outline
