What gets put up around Tzaneen
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: a manager's house or staff houses on a remote farm, with light parts to truck in
- Lodges, guest farms and resorts: lodge suites with large windows on a slope where heavy materials are hard to bring
- Homeowners: a family home on a suburban stand, framed faster than brick, with the same finishes
- Backyard landlords and families: a row of LSF rental units built quickly on a cleared township stand
