What to know locally in Worcester
Farm bakkies, tractors and staff buses from De Doorns, Rawsonville and Robertson come in for seat recovering and canvas covers. Motor trimmers do car seats and roof linings, which sag fast in the heat. Schools and churches recover chairs and pew cushions in bulk, and ski boats from Brandvlei Dam need marine vinyl. Wine farm restaurants recover outdoor cushions and dining chairs before summer.
Worcester: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Summer heat in the Breede River valley is hard on anything upholstered: vinyl splits on bakkie seats, leather dries out and fabric fades on stoeps facing the afternoon sun. Worcester is the service town for the table grape farms of De Doorns and the wine cellars of Rawsonville and Robertson, so farm bakkies, tractors and staff buses bring a steady stream of seat repairs. Homes in town and in Zwelethemba and Avian Park recover lounge suites and dining chairs, and the town's many schools and churches recover chairs and pews in bulk. Ski boats from Brandvlei Dam need marine vinyl. Workshops are small and often family run, and fabric often comes from Cape Town.
The requests we see from Worcester usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealership outdoor waiting areas and coffee stops with weatherproof bench cushions
- Homeowners and tenants: pool loungers, patio sets and stoep benches at a family home, faded after one summer
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: outdoor furniture makers and landscapers ordering cushions for their clients' patios
Local tips for Worcester
Upholsterers serving Worcester mostly work from here: small workshops in town and home workshops in Zwelethemba and Avian Park. The jobs that come up most: farm bakkie and tractor seats, lounge suites, school and church chairs. When you ask for quotes, ask for UV-stable fabric or vinyl that copes with the valley's summer heat.
Around Worcester the largest group asking is car, bakkie and taxi owners, which usually means dealership outdoor waiting areas and coffee stops with weatherproof bench cushions. Before you agree to anything: ask for UV-stable fabric and quick-dry foam. Collection here: fabric and foam often from Cape Town over the N1; bakkie collection locally.
