Slate, stone and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and farms along the Sundays River and Addo. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled roofs, and owners add slate to entrance halls, stoeps and braai areas. Heritage buildings in the central area suit careful stone and slate repairs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts and strong winds, so dust and sun wear sealers quickly. Lodges and farm stays near Addo favour rustic stone. Local merchants stock common tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Gqeberha.
Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: a slate deck around the family pool with a braai area and shaded loungers close by
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a large slate deck beside a lodge or guest house pool, with views of the veld
- New builds and developments: pool coping and deck slate planned with the builder so falls and levels are right first time
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
