Homes and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, plus large township areas such as Thembalethu. Homes include older plastered houses, thatch-roof homes, estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so mould, damp walls, leaking roofs and blocked gutters are common. Termites and borer are active in timber and decks, and coastal homes face salt rust. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, deck repairs, roof repairs, fencing and security gates. Local hardware stores and merchants supply a wide range of materials.
Typical wooden decks requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building decks off the lounge or around pools, and sanding and sealing older boards
- Townhouses and security estates: adding a small deck to a garden patio, with body corporate approval where required
- Coastal homes: using durable boards and stainless fixings that resist salt, sun and damp sea air
- Township homes and extensions: building simple raised platforms or stoeps from treated timber at the back or front of the house
- Older and character homes: matching older timber floors and verandas with sympathetic boards and traditional finishes
- Farms and smallholdings: building large entertainment decks, walkways and viewing platforms on farmhouses and lodges
