Northern Cape notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Iron ore and manganese mines around Kathu, Sishen, Hotazel and Postmasburg run large fleets of bakkies, so fitted canvas seat covers and torn driver seats are steady work for trimmers. Long gravel roads and dust wear through cloth seats quickly. Guest farms and lodges on the Kalahari side and along the Orange River near Kakamas want outdoor cushions and vinyl seats for game drive vehicles, and mine offices send chairs for new gas lifts.
Northern Cape: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Dust and dry heat are the first things to plan for when you want upholstery done in the Northern Cape. Fine red dust works into woven fabric, sun bleaches anything near a window and leather couches dry out and crack without conditioning. Kimberley holds Victorian houses in suburbs like Belgravia with old armchairs and dining sets worth restoring, while the iron ore and manganese towns of Kathu and Postmasburg send fleet bakkies and mine office chairs to motor trimmers. Upington serves grape farms along the Orange River, and Springbok and De Aar are long drives from the nearest big workshop. Fabric and foam often travel from Gauteng or Cape Town, so ask about courier time before you book a date.
The requests we see from Northern Cape usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: taxi owners, fleet managers and dealers covering seats in bulk, vehicle by vehicle
- Homeowners and tenants: the family car that carries children, a dog and wet towels every weekend
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: builders, plumbers and farmers protecting bakkie seats from dirty work clothes
Local tips for Northern Cape
Upholsterers serving Northern Cape mostly work from here: workshops in Kimberley and Upington, motor trimmers in Kathu and Kuruman. The jobs that come up most: mine bakkie seats and covers, lounge suites, antique armchairs in Kimberley. When you ask for quotes, ask how long fabric takes to arrive by courier before you agree a date.
Around Northern Cape the largest group asking is car, bakkie and taxi owners, which usually means taxi owners, fleet managers and dealers covering seats in bulk, vehicle by vehicle. Before you agree to anything: check airbag seams before you order. Collection here: fabric and foam come by courier from Gauteng or Cape Town; long collection drives.
