Slate, stone and weather in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast around Gqeberha and East London to the cooler Karoo-edge towns inland. Coastal homes and holiday houses use slate around pools and on decks, where salt air and sand wear sealers quickly. Makhanda and Komani have older sandstone and Victorian homes, and some heritage roofs. Inland, frost and summer storms test outdoor paving and roofs. Farmhouses and guest lodges favour rustic slate and stone cladding. Tile shops and paving yards are in the main centres, with delivery by truck to smaller towns and farms.

Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: decks, patios and outdoor showers that must handle sand, salt air and wet feet
- Suburban homes: back patios, stoeps and braai areas, plus garden paths and entrance steps
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large stoeps, lapa floors and garden paths around farmhouses, lodges and wine estates
- New builds and developments: patios and paths laid at the end of the build, once levels and drainage are set
- Townhouses and complexes: small private courtyards and patios, within what the body corporate allows
