What gets put up around Middelburg

Steel works, mines and farms give Middelburg a mixed demand for prefab buildings. Suburban owners in Aerorand and Kanonkop put up wendy houses, garden offices and granny flats for parents, while Mhluzi has a busy market for backyard rooms let to workers. Out on the Hendrina and Belfast roads, farmers order staff houses, stores and nutec cottages, and the Loskop Dam area draws interest in holiday cabins. Most suppliers sit on the N4 or come up from eMalahleni and Gauteng, so delivery is straightforward in town and longer on gravel farm roads. Hard winter frost and summer hail are the local tests for roofs and insulation, and the council expects plans for anything people will sleep in.
