Slate, stone and weather in Tzaneen
Tzaneen lies in the lush Letaba valley, where mango, avocado and citrus farms, guest lodges and hillside homes use stone for verandahs, pool decks and feature walls. Heavy summer rain and humidity make moss and mould grow on shaded slate, so a non-slip cleft finish, good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning matter. Tall trees drop leaves that stain unsealed stone. Forest-edge homes near Magoebaskloof often add stone cladding on chimneys and entrance walls. Damp ground means a proper waterproof screed and a solid adhesive bed under outdoor tiles. Local merchants and tile shops stock common slate, with larger stone orders trucked in from Polokwane or Gauteng.
Typical slate pool surrounds requests in the area come from:
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a large slate deck beside a lodge or guest house pool, with views of the veld
