Alberton notes on roofs & lapas
In Meyersdal, thatched homes and <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapas</a> are built to estate guidelines, so start with the HOA's rules on pitch, ridge and mast position. On the flats, Brackenhurst and Randhart families more often want a braai lapa of a few metres. Builders working on ridge sites should allow for awkward access and steep driveways when crews bring scaffolding and grass.
Alberton: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Alberton's thatch sits mainly on its southern hills. Meyersdal climbs the slopes of the Klipriviersberg, with estates and large homes looking out over the south, and thatched houses and pool lapas fit naturally into that rocky, wooded setting. Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart are settled family suburbs where braai lapas are the norm, and Alrode is a large industrial area with almost none. Homes on the ridge are exposed to lightning and wind more than those on the flats below, and the nature reserve next door means grass fires in winter are worth planning for. Thatchers usually travel in from Johannesburg's south, the Vaal or Pretoria.
Typical roof thatchers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: one thatcher for the house roof, checked against past roofs and references
- Estate homes and HOAs: thatchers who know the estate's guidelines and can work with the HOA's approval process
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a crew with the scaffolding and experience for a large roof span
