Small block yards in Motherwell, Wells Estate and Bethelsdorp often run electric egg-laying machines on a home slab. The wind here is the problem, so build a windbreak or use shade cloth and keep bricks damp for the first week. Engineering workshops in Struandale and Deal Party can repair frames and rebuild moulds, which helps with second hand machines. Rinse salt off machines that work near the sea.

Wind is the first thing to think about when making bricks in Gqeberha. The steady breeze off Algoa Bay dries fresh cement bricks too fast and can crack them, so yards keep rows covered and damp. Building is busy: extensions and new homes in KwaZakhele, Motherwell, New Brighton and Zwide, social housing on the northern edge, complexes in Walmer and Lorraine, and industrial work around the Coega zone and the harbour. Coastal salt causes efflorescence on face brick near the sea in Summerstrand and Humewood. Block yards and hardware stores sit in Struandale, Deal Party and Markman, and sand comes from pits outside the city.
