Materials & supplies in Vanderbijlpark: local notes
The Free State grasslands are just across the river, so <a href="/thatch-grass/">thatch grass</a> has a fairly short trip here. Treated poles for riverside structures should be at the right hazard class for damp ground. Some river resorts use synthetic thatch on bar umbrellas and small gazebos near the water, where real grass stays wet longest; ask about its fire rating.
Thatch in Vanderbijlpark
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and its grid of suburbs has little thatch. The river changes that. Along the Vaal, west of town toward Parys, riverside plots, holiday homes and resorts have thatched chalets, boathouses, bars and big lapas looking over the water, and Vaalpark across the river has homes with pool lapas. Weekend river properties are often empty during the week, so small problems can go unnoticed until they leak. Damp air by the water grows moss on shaded roofs, and birds nesting in the reeds love pulling at thatch. Most crews come from Vereeniging, the south of Johannesburg or further afield.
The requests we see from Vanderbijlpark usually come from:
- Resorts and holiday parks: replacing thatch on units one block at a time to cut yearly upkeep
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: a tiled roof over a kitchen or service area beside thatched seating
- Homeowners: re-roofing a worn thatch house in tiles while keeping its rounded shape
