On the ground in Klerksdorp

Owners in Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Doringkruin usually want a wooden wendy house or a nutec home office. Buyers on plots toward Hartbeesfontein ask about container homes and kit homes as a first house. Old mine houses in Orkney and Stilfontein sometimes get a modular room added. Ask about ceilings and insulation, because summer heat and frosty nights both come through thin walls.

Sizes run 20 ft about 14.6 m², 40 ft about 29.7 m². Before you agree to anything: council plans; engineer for big openings.

Klerksdorp: the ground, the weather and the yards

Gold mining built Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney, and while some shafts have closed, mine work and contractors still bring people who need somewhere to stay. Landlords in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana add backyard rooms in nutec and panels, and older mine houses in Stilfontein and Orkney get granny flats or wendy houses in the yard. Maize and cattle farms around Hartbeesfontein order staff houses and stores. Flamwood and the newer suburbs ask for garden offices and timber rooms. Suppliers come from local yards or along the N12 from Potchefstroom and Gauteng. The area is hot in summer, frosty in winter and gets hail, so insulation and solid roof fixings count. Ask the council about plans before a room is let.
