What to know locally in Free State
Small yards in Botshabelo, Phuthaditjhaba and Kroonstad's Maokeng often run an egg-laying machine on a home slab. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in Bloemfontein's Hamilton and Bloemdustria, and around Sasolburg, keep moulds, mixers and vibrator motors. Frost means curing under cover from May to August, so many yards add a roofed slab or plastic sheeting to keep winter production going.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Free State
Sandstone farmhouses in the eastern Free State and red face brick in Bloemfontein tell you the province has always built with what the ground offers. Today the busiest orders come from the townships and new housing around Bloemfontein, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, from Welkom and Virginia where old mine houses are extended and rented, and from Phuthaditjhaba in Qwaqwa where families build in stages. Kroonstad, Bethlehem and Sasolburg have their own yards and builders, and grain and cattle farms order blocks for sheds and staff housing. Cement brick and block yards work the edges of most towns. Hard winter frost and summer hail are real threats to bricks that have not cured.

- Homeowners: plastic moulds for making your own pavers, stepping stones or garden edging
