What gets put up around Free State
Flat open farmland covers most of the Free State, and much of the prefab work follows the farms. Maize, wheat and cattle farmers around Bethlehem, Reitz, Bothaville and Wesselsbron put up staff houses, offices and stores, while the Eastern Free State near Clarens, Fouriesburg and Golden Gate adds log cabins and holiday chalets among the sandstone hills. Bloemfontein and Botshabelo have steady demand for backyard rental rooms and granny flats, Welkom and Virginia for rooms and site offices on the goldfields, and Sasolburg for contractor units at the plants. Winters are very cold with hard frost and summer brings hail and lightning, so plan insulation and earthing. Ask the municipality about plans before the slab goes down.
Typical log homes requests in the area come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a log farm house or guest cottage near the plantations or dams
- Backyard landlords and families: a log cottage let out as holiday accommodation on a big plot
- Homeowners: a log family home or weekend house on a mountain or country stand
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: log chalets and a main lodge building for a game or guest farm
