Polokwane notes on materials & supplies
Polokwane has pole yards and suppliers that serve a wide area, so treated <a href="/gum-poles/">gum poles</a> and laths are usually easy to get. Grass is mostly trucked in from grassland farms elsewhere after the winter harvest; ask about quality and storage. In the dry heat, a fire retardant and a water repellent treatment both have a place, but follow the maker's re-application interval.
Polokwane: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, set on a dry plateau where summers are hot and the rain arrives in thunderstorms. In Bendor, Flora Park and the newer estates, garden lapas, thatched entertainment areas and some thatched homes are common. Guesthouses and conference venues around the city use thatch, and game farms and lodges spread out toward the Waterberg and along the roads north. The dry climate helps roofs dry fast after rain, but lightning and veld fires in the dry season are real concerns. Polokwane has its own thatchers and pole yards, and crews from here often work across the province, from Mankweng to the bushveld farms.

- Homeowners: a basic kit to patch a lapa or umbrella and comb out loose grass
