Re-thatch Mountain View Cottages – Fish Hoek

Thatch Roof Fish Hoek

About two months ago, the Thatchscapes team re-thatched the Mountain View cottages in Fish Hoek. It was once the original barn of the Fish Hoek Farm, but has now been converted into two cottages in Cottage Lane. Some say that this building is the oldest of its kind in the Fish Hoek area, and we are extremely proud to have been part of this project. The thatched roof really gives this elegant structure some character and a rustic feel interiorly and exteriorly. The thatched roof will also serve as an effective insulator, which means that the cottage will be kept nice and cool in summer and it will retain internal heat during cold winter days. We are the Thatch Roof Fish Hoek experts.

Poplar Trusses

Expectations are always met when working with us at Thatchscapes. Our staff completes tasks and are professional throughout. Many tasks include the planning, design, and construction of exposed poplar trusses in the roof structure process.

We sometimes use an 8-ton lorry crane to carefully position the trusses where they are mounted on the walls. Every mission is successfully carried out by our team with precision, diligent work and dedication. The final result of all our projects is amazing and it’s a great feeling when we can give our customers our best. Both our buildings are designed in compliance with design standards to ensure structural perfection.

Constructed to SANS requirements to guarantee protection and stability

To ensure safety and stability when building thatched roofs for your home or Lapa, it is important to comply with the appropriate regulations. Thatchscapes specialises in high-quality workmanship. We continue to ensure not only that our job is protected but also that our work represents our competence and quality assured installations as we take on a new project. Often we come across a thatched roof not constructed in compliance with the SANS 10407 requirements.

Our team needs to lift the current roof, design the foundation, and use a processed pole to reinforce the system. You can be assured that if you chose us as your Thatch Building partner, we can produce a superior, standard building that’s astonishing and stable. Thatchscapes is proud to deliver quality and security.
