Bricks & blocks in Upington: local notes
Vineyards around Kakamas, Keimoes and Kanoneiland build packsheds and staff houses in hollow blocks. Paballelo families build in cement maxi bricks and blocks. Upington homeowners extend houses and add boundary walls, often plastered and painted light colours against the heat. Pavers around houses need a firm base on the sandy ground.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Upington
On the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, Upington builds in fierce heat. Fresh cement bricks can dry out within hours on a summer slab, so local yards make early, cover with plastic and keep the rows wet. The green strip of vineyards from Kakamas to Keimoes needs packsheds, cellars and workers' housing, and Paballelo and the town suburbs add homes, rooms and boundary walls. Brickyards and block yards in town serve the river settlements, but face bricks and machines usually come from far away by long-haul truck. River sand is close at hand. Winter days are mild, though clear nights can still bring frost.
Typical face bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a face brick house front or boundary wall that never needs painting
- Farms and smallholdings: a face brick farmhouse, office or store that stays tidy without paint
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: matched face bricks for a house build ordered in one batch per job
