Homes and weather in Free State
Free State homes sit on open Highveld plains with cold winters, hot summers and fierce storms. Hail, lightning and strong wind damage roofs, gutters and electrical equipment, and expansive clay soils open cracks in walls, floors and paving. Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem have older sandstone and face-brick homes, newer complexes, mining and farm housing, and township houses that are extended over time. Frost can burst exposed pipes, so plumbing repairs rise in July. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve each main town, and farm and small-town jobs often need bulk delivery by truck.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
