Supplies & care in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Fabric shops in the Durban CBD and foam suppliers in the industrial areas serve the trade and DIYers, with open-cell outdoor foam and marine vinyl easy to find near the coast. Ask for rust resistant staples and polyester thread on anything near the sea. Mould and musty smells keep upholstery cleaners busy, and rented extraction machines work well if the room is aired, because damp fabric dries slowly in coastal humidity.
Upholstery work in KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the enemy of upholstery along this coast. Salt air rusts staples and springs inside couches, cushions in closed holiday flats grow mould and leather left in a damp room goes spotty, so materials and care matter as much as the cover. Durban has a big upholstery trade, with workshops in Pinetown, Jacobs, Mobeni and Springfield Park and fabric shops in the city centre, while Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay and Newcastle serve their own regions. Holiday homes from Ballito to Port Shepstone need patio and boat cushions, ski boats launch off the beaches, and hotels and restaurants on the beachfront recover booths and lounge chairs. Taxis and bakkies keep motor trimmers in every town working through the year.
Who asks for upholstery supplies around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:

- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: foam, glue, staples and thread for motor trimmers rebuilding seats and door cards
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: stainless staples, UV thread and zips for boat, caravan and camper cushions

Around KwaZulu-Natal the largest group asking is homeowners and tenants, which usually means webbing, wadding and staples for a DIY dining chair or footstool project at home. Before you agree to anything: match webbing and springs to the frame. Collection here: workshops collect along the coast by bakkie; inland towns get stock from Durban.
