What to know locally in George
Small yards in Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp often use electric egg-laying machines on a covered slab, since frequent rain means bricks sit longer before stacking. A static machine with pallets that can be moved under a roof is worth considering. Damp air rusts steel, so keep machines dry and greased. Machine sellers are few here, so many people order from Cape Town or Gqeberha.
Building with brick in George
Garden Route rain falls through the year, and that sets George apart from the rest of the Western Cape for brickmakers. Fresh cement bricks stay damp and cure slowly, and in a wet spell they need a roof, not just a sheet. Thembalethu and Pacaltsdorp build steadily with cement blocks and maxi bricks, while Blanco, Heatherlands and the golf estates around town use face brick and paving. Holiday homes at Wilderness and Herold's Bay face sea salt and efflorescence. Block yards and hardware stores sit in George's industrial area and in town, sand comes from local pits, and deliveries run out along the N2 to Mossel Bay and Knysna.
Who asks for block making machines around George, most often first:
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
