Homes and weather in Eastern Cape
Eastern Cape homes cope with a varied climate, from humid coast to dry Karoo interior. Around Gqeberha, East London and Jeffreys Bay, salt air and strong wind corrode metal and flake paint, and wind-driven rain finds weak spots in roofs and window frames. Makhanda and Komani have many older and heritage houses with timber floors and sash windows that need careful repair. Township homes and farmhouses are often extended or maintained piece by piece. Common jobs are waterproofing, rust treatment, painting and carpentry. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve the larger towns, with delivery to smaller places.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- Coastal homes: dense blocks, sealed timber and corrosion-resistant fixings for homes facing salt wind
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
