Slate, stone and weather in Polokwane
Polokwane is the commercial centre of Limpopo, and homes in Bendor, Ladanna and Flora Park often combine face brick with stone-clad pillars, slate stoeps and tiled entrance halls. Estates and security complexes add feature walls and pool surrounds, where non-slip cleft slate suits wet feet. Summer heat and strong UV fade sealers on open patios, so reseal every few years. Afternoon storms and hail damage roof tiles, and dry winters with cool nights stress rigid beds. Lodges and game farms towards the bushveld favour rustic multicolour slate. Tile shops, stone yards and builders' merchants across the city stock slate and paving, and suppliers deliver across the Limpopo region.

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
