Stellenbosch: the ground, the weather and the yards
Students drive a big share of the prefab work in Stellenbosch. Landlords in Die Boord, Dalsig and Uniepark add granny flats and garden studios to rent, and some suburbs and the historic centre have strict rules on what can be built and how it looks. Kayamandi and Cloetesville add backyard rooms on tight stands, often in nutec. Wine estates on the Helshoogte and Annandale roads put up guest cottages, tasting rooms and staff housing, and Technopark businesses use prefab offices. Winters are wet and cold, summers hot, and the south-easter blows hard towards Somerset West. Fires on the mountain slopes are a real risk in summer, so keep timber clear of fynbos.
Typical steel frame houses requests in the area come from:
