KwaZulu-Natal notes on machines & equipment
Small yards in Inanda, Edendale and Madadeni often run an egg-laying machine on a slab beside the house. Machine sellers and engineering workshops in Pinetown, Hammarsdale and Pietermaritzburg stock moulds, mixers and spares. On the coast, the salt air rusts frames, tampers and vibrator housings, so wash machines down and paint bare steel, and a roofed curing area makes life easier through the wet summer.
KwaZulu-Natal: the building, the weather and the yards
Steep hills, coastal damp and a huge rural population make KwaZulu-Natal a province of hollow blocks and retaining walls. Across the hills of Ndwedwe, Msinga and Nongoma, homesteads are built in cement blocks from small local yards, often with the blocks made on site. Durban's townships of Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda keep adding rooms, while Umhlanga, Ballito and Cornubia take estate and complex work with face brick and paving. Pietermaritzburg, Newcastle and Richards Bay each have their own yards. On the coast, salt and humidity bring white efflorescence on face brick and rust on machine parts, and summer downpours wash out uncovered bricks. The Midlands and Drakensberg get winter frost.
Who asks for brick and block moulds around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:
- Homeowners: plastic moulds for making your own pavers, stepping stones or garden edging
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: an extra machine mould so one machine makes bricks and blocks for a job
- Housing developers and complexes: spare moulds to keep machines running through a long housing project
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Most asked for in KwaZulu-Natal: hollow blocks for rural homes, retaining blocks on slopes, face brick for estates. Where the yards and suppliers are: block yards across the townships and rural towns; bigger yards near Durban and PMB. A useful tip: on steep rural sites, ask whether the truck can reach the stand or needs a smaller load.
Requests range widely: one to many cavities per mould. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for plastic moulds for making your own pavers, stepping stones or garden edging. One local point to raise: yards deliver along the N2 and N3; rural loads up steep gravel roads by small truck.
