Prefab and timber building in Pretoria
Pretoria stretches a long way, and the prefab work changes from one end to the other. Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Atteridgeville and Hammanskraal want backyard rooms and nutec houses that can be let out, often added one room at a time. The eastern suburbs, from Faerie Glen to Moreleta Park, ask for wendy houses, garden offices and lapas on sloping stands that step down the ridges, while smallholdings in Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat put up timber cottages and staff rooms. Many security estates set strict rules on outbuildings, so read the house rules before ordering. Yards and erectors sit in Rosslyn, Silverton and Pretoria West. Summer storms can be violent, with hail and lightning, and winters are dry with frosty mornings in the low parts of the city.
Typical tiny houses requests in the area come from:
- Backyard landlords and families: a tiny rental unit behind the house where space on the stand is short
- Homeowners: a compact home or backyard unit for one or two, with a loft bed
- Farms and smallholdings: an off-grid tiny house for a farm manager or guest on a far corner
- Schools and creches: a small caretaker's unit or sick bay on the school grounds
