What to know locally in Paarl
Farm workshops in the Drakenstein valley sometimes run their own block machine to build staff housing and sheds, often engine driven or manual where power is far from the yard. In Mbekweni, small yards with electric egg-laying machines sell blocks to neighbours. Summer heat is the main curing problem, so plan shade cloth and water. Mixers can usually be hired in Paarl by the day.
Paarl: the building, the weather and the yards
Wine farms, fruit packsheds and a growing town give Paarl a wide mix of brick work. Farms across the Drakenstein valley build cellars, sheds, staff housing and boundary walls, many in face brick that suits the Cape Winelands look. Mbekweni and the newer housing areas of Paarl East extend with cement blocks and maxi bricks, while Wellington and Klapmuts see estates and warehouses. The Boland gets cold, wet winters and very hot, dry summers, so fresh bricks need cover from rain in July and shade and water in January. Brick and block yards sit in the industrial areas of Paarl and Wellington, and clay brickyards in the wider Winelands supply face brick.
The requests we see from Paarl usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a block mould for farm walls and stores on a machine you already have
- 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
