What gets put up around Paarl

Wine and fruit farms are the backbone of prefab demand around Paarl. Farms in the Groot Drakenstein, Simondium and Wellington valleys put up staff housing, stores and guest cottages, often in light steel frame or nutec that stands up to summer heat. Paarl is one of the hottest towns in the Winelands, so insulation and shade matter, while winters are cold and wet with flooding in low spots near the Berg River. Mbekweni and the older parts of town add backyard rental rooms and wendy houses, and Franschhoek guest farms ask for timber cabins. Klapmuts and Dal Josafat bring site offices for warehouses and factories. Plans go through the Drakenstein municipality.
