Homes and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards and date palms meet desert heat. Houses are mostly single-storey plastered homes with flat or low-pitched roofs, many with carports, stoeps and walled gardens. Temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees in summer, which cracks paint, bakes flat roofs and dries timber, so waterproofing, repainting and roof repairs are common. Hard water scales taps and geysers, and sandy soils shift around paving and walls. Farm owners nearby need shed, fence and gate work. Local jobs also include air conditioning prep, shade nets, pool surrounds and security gates. Hardware stores in town supply most building materials and paint.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fitting bars and security gates to windows and doors on freestanding homes
- Farms and smallholdings: fitting strong bars and gates on farmhouses and outbuildings far from help
- Township homes and extensions: fitting steel bars and security gates to windows and doors on small houses and backyard rooms
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting bars that follow complex style rules, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting bars and security gates on shop fronts, offices and storerooms
- Older and character homes: fitting bars that suit old timber or steel windows and repairing original ironwork
