On the ground in Upington
In Upington, nutec and steel frame homes are chosen because they cope with heat and do not feed termites, but they still need insulation. Container homes on farms near Keimoes and Kakamas need shade, vents and insulation, or they become unbearable in summer. Timber wendy houses dry out fast in the Kalahari sun, so plan to reseal often. Ask for a light coloured roof.
Wendy Houses here usually suit sheds, offices, backyard rooms and small homes. Made or supplied like this: treated pine frame, tongue and groove boards.
