Potchefstroom students and landlords buy faux suede or tough woven fabric for a quick couch recover, and DIYers pick up foam offcuts, staples and webbing to redo seat pads.

Upholstery work in North West
Weekend boats on Hartbeespoort Dam, platinum mine fleets around Rustenburg and maize farms out towards Lichtenburg give upholsterers in North West a mixed workload. Ski boat and pontoon seats crack in the sun and need marine vinyl, while mine contractors and farmers bring in bakkies with split seats and ask for canvas covers. In Potchefstroom, student digs and landlords recover worn couches between academic years, and Mahikeng has government offices and churches with chairs to redo in bulk. Workshops sit in the industrial areas of Rustenburg, Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom and Brits, with home workshops in the townships, and specialist foam and fabric often comes from Gauteng. Hot, dry summers fade fabric and harden leather left near a window.
