Building with brick in Pinetown
Steep ground shapes most building jobs in Pinetown. Plots climbing towards Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest often need retaining walls before a house or extension can go up, while KwaDabeka, Clermont and St Wendolins keep a steady demand for cement blocks and maxi bricks for new rooms and boundary walls. The industrial areas of New Germany and Westmead hold block yards, hardware stores and engineering workshops that sell and fix mixers and brick machines. Being inland of Durban helps a little with salt, but mist on the ridges and heavy summer rain keep fresh bricks damp for days, and runoff on slopes can undercut curing slabs. Deliveries up narrow, winding roads often need a smaller truck.

- Homeowners: interlocking bricks for a garden wall, an outbuilding or a rural family house
