What to know locally in Upington
Bakkies and tractors from the vineyards and raisin farms need tough canvas or vinyl seat covers, and many cars need roof linings replaced because the heat makes the foam backing fail. 4x4s and caravans heading to the Kgalagadi want cushions and seat covers made for dust. Guesthouses along the river ask for patio cushions and dining chairs, and government offices send chairs for repair.
Upington: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Summer heat in Upington does things to upholstery that coastal towns never see. Foam goes brittle in parked cars, vinyl splits on bakkie seats, and leather couches near a north-facing window fade and crack within a few seasons. Along the Orange River, the grape and raisin farms at Kanoneiland, Louisvale, Keimoes and Kakamas send tractor and bakkie seats, stoep benches and farmhouse dining chairs, and 4x4s and caravans heading for the Kgalagadi need seat covers and cushions that can take dust. Paballelo has home upholsterers, and workshops in town do furniture and motor trimming side by side. Upington is a long drive from any metro, so fabric and foam are often ordered and couriered, and a quote may include waiting time.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: pool loungers, patio sets and stoep benches at a family home, faded after one summer
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealership outdoor waiting areas and coffee stops with weatherproof bench cushions
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: caravans, holiday houses and boats that need quick-dry cushions for the deck
