Bricks & blocks in Vanderbijlpark: local notes
Sebokeng, Bophelong and Boipatong build mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks, then plaster. Older Vanderbijlpark suburbs in the SE and CW sections have face brick houses that need matching brick for extensions. Riverside stands near the Vaal use face brick for stoeps and garden walls, and damp ground there makes a good damp-proof course important. Ask the yard whether its bricks are cured long enough for river damp.
Vanderbijlpark: the building, the weather and the yards
Built as a steel town on the Vaal River, Vanderbijlpark still has the planned street grids of its early suburbs, with face brick houses on wide stands that owners extend and wall in. The bigger volumes come from Sebokeng, Bophelong, Boipatong and Evaton, where extensions, rental rooms and RDP houses being enlarged keep small brick yards and bricklayers busy. Riverside homes near the Vaal and Vaalpark across the river add stoeps, boat houses and garden walls. Yards and machine sellers sit in the industrial areas toward the steel works and along the main roads to Vereeniging. Damp air off the river and winter frost slow curing, so fresh bricks need cover and time.
Typical retaining wall blocks requests in the area come from:

- New brick-making businesses: a small yard making plantable retaining blocks in steel moulds for landscapers
- Brickyards and block yards: block yards adding plantable and rock face retaining blocks to their range
