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.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall
- Farms and smallholdings: a petrol or diesel mixer for dams, troughs, kraals and farm buildings
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a 350 litre site mixer for foundations, mortar and slabs on every job
Local tips for Free State
Yards and suppliers serving Free State mostly work from here: yards in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Bethlehem and Sasolburg; small yards near every town. The requests that come up most: maxi bricks for township homes, farm shed blocks, face brick to match older homes. When you ask for quotes, in winter, ask the yard how it protects bricks from frost before they leave.
Requests range widely: about 120 to 350 litre site drums. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small electric mixer for paths, steps, slabs and mortar for a garden wall. One local point to raise: yards deliver along the N1, N3 and N5; farms often take full truck loads.
