Windhoek suburb
Roofing in Pioneers Park
Pioneers Park has generous stands and, with them, generously sized roofs. Long single runs of IBR are common, and length is exactly what makes thermal movement bite.
Storm damage here tends to show as lifted ridge caps and barge flashings rather than missing sheets, because the fixings give up before the steel does.
Roof stock here
Larger single-storey homes under long-run IBR and corrugated sheeting, wide eaves, substantial gutter runs.

What actually goes wrong in Pioneers Park
Movement over long runs
The longer the sheet, the more it grows and shrinks each day. Fixings elongate their holes, washers flatten, and the roof develops a leak line rather than a leak point.
Ridge caps and barges
Wind gets under a ridge cap whose fixings have loosened and lifts it in one gust. It is a quick repair when caught early and a much bigger one when the ridge line has been open through a storm.
Gutters after the dry season
Long gutter runs collect a season's dust. Where they overflow at a join, the water runs down the wall and into the fascia rather than away from the house.
