Boksburg notes on roofs & lapas
Boksburg owners often want a <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> that runs off the back of the house as an outdoor room. That is cheaper than a freestanding one but needs careful detailing where the thatch meets the house roof, and a check with the municipality on fire rules for thatch so close to the house. Freestanding round lapas by the pool are the other common request.
Who builds with thatch in Boksburg
Boksburg is a working East Rand town where thatch shows up in family back gardens rather than on the skyline. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park have plenty of rectangular braai lapas joined to the house or built beside the pool, and around Boksburg Lake some homes and venues have thatched entertainment areas. Jet Park and Witfield are industrial, and Atlasville sits close to the airport. A lapa attached to the house raises its own questions: the join between the thatch and the tiled roof is a classic leak point, and fire rules for thatch close to the house need checking. Crews are usually drawn from Benoni, Kempton Park and Pretoria East.
The requests we see from Boksburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: one thatcher for the house roof, checked against past roofs and references
- Builders, architects and developers: a reliable subcontractor who thatches to the plans and the code of practice
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a crew with the scaffolding and experience for a large roof span
