Vereeniging: the ground, the weather and the yards

Where the Klip River meets the Vaal, Vereeniging has a long riverfront and a lot of plots, and that drives the prefab requests: timber cabins, chalets and holiday homes on stands in Three Rivers and along the river towards Henley on Klip. In town, Arcon Park, Duncanville and Peacehaven add granny flats, wendy houses and garden offices. Sharpeville and Tshepiso build nutec rental rooms. Industry around Duncanville and Leeuhof needs site offices and prefab buildings. Flood lines along both rivers matter, and Emfuleni will want plans for anything lived in. Summer storms bring hail, lightning and sudden heavy rain, and frost settles on the river flats in winter.
