Tzaneen notes on supplies & care
Tzaneen has a few foam and fabric shops that cut cushions to size, with wider ranges, marine vinyl and leather ordered from Polokwane. Outdoor fabric and quick-dry foam are worth asking for because of the damp. Upholstery cleaners here spend a lot of time on mould and odour treatment, and extraction machines can be hired, though drying takes longer in humid weather.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Tzaneen
Mist rolls down from Magoebaskloof most summer mornings, and in Tzaneen the result is a damp, warm valley where mould is the enemy of upholstery. Couches and dining chairs in farmhouses around Politsi, Letsitele and Duiwelskloof often come in with mildew under the cushions or rusted springs, and the fix is new foam, a breathable fabric and a good clean. The avocado, mango and citrus farms keep trimmers busy with bakkie and tractor seats, while guesthouses in Haenertsburg and lodges on the road towards Hoedspruit want patio cushions, dining seats and game drive vehicle benches. Nkowankowa and Lenyenye have home upholsterers working on lounge suites. Supplies often come from Polokwane, so a special order can take a few days.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: long-lasting seat foam for restaurant booths, bar stools and guesthouse lounge suites
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: seat foam rebuilds for bakkie, kombi and taxi seats, cut and shaped for the trimmer
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: quick-dry open-cell foam for boat benches, caravan beds and game drive vehicle seats
