Tzaneen: the ground, the weather and the yards
Green, hilly and wet in summer, Tzaneen asks more of a prefab building than the dry Highveld does. Damp, termites and heavy rain mean timber needs proper treatment, a raised floor or a sealed slab, and good gutters. Holiday cabins and log homes are popular up in Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg, where forest plots are steep and access roads twist, so ask early whether a crane truck can reach. Citrus, avocado, mango and banana farms around Letsitele and Politsi order staff housing, and landlords in Nkowankowa and Lenyenye add backyard rooms. Suppliers come from local yards or from Polokwane over the mountain road. Council plans are still needed for anything lived in.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: staff houses and a manager's cottage put up on a farm without a long building job
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: guest units and staff quarters at a lodge or guest farm, set up between seasons
- Homeowners: a two or three bedroom prefab home on your stand instead of a brick build
- Backyard landlords and families: a row of prefab rental units in the backyard, each with its own door and bathroom
