Slate Pool Surrounds for Upington homes and businesses

Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: a large slate deck beside a lodge or guest house pool, with views of the veld
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: non-slip slate decking for hotel, lodge or restaurant pools used by guests every day
- Security and golf estates: matching slate paving from the entertainment patio to the pool edge in a modern home
- New builds and developments: pool coping and deck slate planned with the builder so falls and levels are right first time
- Older and heritage homes: slate coping and paving that suits a restored garden and an older home with character
