Pretoria: the ground, the weather and the yards
Pretoria stretches a long way, and the prefab work changes from one end to the other. Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Atteridgeville and Hammanskraal want backyard rooms and nutec houses that can be let out, often added one room at a time. The eastern suburbs, from Faerie Glen to Moreleta Park, ask for wendy houses, garden offices and lapas on sloping stands that step down the ridges, while smallholdings in Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat put up timber cottages and staff rooms. Many security estates set strict rules on outbuildings, so read the house rules before ordering. Yards and erectors sit in Rosslyn, Silverton and Pretoria West. Summer storms can be violent, with hail and lightning, and winters are dry with frosty mornings in the low parts of the city.
Typical container homes requests in the area come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: insulated 20 ft container rooms to rent, each with a shower and toilet
- Homeowners: a one or two bedroom container home on your stand, or a studio behind the house
- Farms and smallholdings: container staff housing or an off-grid cottage on a remote part of the farm
- Schools and creches: a container classroom, library or store dropped onto the school grounds

Smallholdings in Kameeldrift and Bon Accord put up wooden houses and log homes, where termites and treated timber grades are worth asking about.
