Free State: the ground, the weather and the yards
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 site offices and prefab offices requests in the area come from:
