What gets put up around Pinetown

Slopes set the budget for most prefab jobs in Pinetown. Gardens climbing towards Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest rarely have a flat spot, so a wendy house or granny flat usually needs a cut and fill pad, a stepped slab or a timber deck on piles before anything arrives. In KwaDabeka, Clermont and St Wendolins, landlords add nutec and timber rental rooms on tight stands, and access down narrow lanes can rule out a crane truck. New Germany and Westmead hold timber merchants, steel suppliers and fabrication workshops, so kits rarely travel far. Mist on the ridges and heavy summer rain keep timber damp for days, termites are active, and council plans are needed for anything lived in.
