Mbombela notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Open game drive vehicles from lodges near Hazyview and the Kruger gates need tiered bench seats rebuilt with marine vinyl, stainless staples and drainable foam, usually done in batches before the busy season. Bakkies and 4x4s from the citrus and macadamia farms come in for canvas covers. Guesthouse dining chairs, pool loungers and boma benches are quoted by the piece, often with collection from the lodge.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Mbombela
Upholstery in Mbombela is shaped by the bush on its doorstep. The lodges and guesthouses between White River, Hazyview and the Kruger gates send lounge chairs, dining seats and patio cushions in for recovering, and their open game drive vehicles need bench seats redone in marine-grade vinyl that can take sun, rain and dust on the same day. In town, the hillside suburbs of Sonheuwel, West Acres and Steiltes bring leather couches and dining chairs, and KaNyamazane and Matsulu have home upholsterers working from the yard. Workshops sit in the industrial areas and out at Rocky Drift. The Lowveld summer is hot and humid, so mould behind cushions and rusted staples are as common as sun fade.
Typical car upholstery requests in the area come from:
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: shuttle vans and lodge transfer kombis whose seats take daily guest wear
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: 4x4s, campers and game drive vehicles with seats worn by dust and sun
- Offices and businesses: company pool cars and sales reps' sedans kept tidy for visiting clients
