Homes and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and large townships such as KwaNobuhle. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts, strong winds and occasional heavy rain that finds old flashings and gutters. Dusty conditions and sun wear paint quickly. Typical jobs include roof repairs, repainting, ceilings, plumbing, paving, fencing and security gates. Heritage buildings in the central area need careful repair. Farms along the Sundays River and Addo need outbuilding and fence work. Local merchants supply building 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
- 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
- Townhouses and security estates: adding a small deck to a garden patio, with body corporate approval where required
- Farms and smallholdings: building large entertainment decks, walkways and viewing platforms on farmhouses and lodges
- Shops, offices and rentals: building decks for restaurants, guesthouses and offices with stronger frames and slip-resistant boards
