George: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Retirees who moved to the Garden Route with their best furniture keep upholsterers in George well booked. Wingbacks, recliners and dining sets from homes in Heatherlands, King George Park and the golf estates come in for new foam and fabric, and many people choose to recover pieces they brought from elsewhere. Holiday houses in Wilderness and Herold's Bay need outdoor cushions and tough covers, while boats on the Knysna lagoon and at Mossel Bay harbour need marine vinyl. Farms on the Outeniqua slopes send bakkie and tractor seats. Families in Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu recover lounge suites. Rain falls in every season, so mould and damp foam are frequent problems.
Typical upholstery tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a manual or electric staple gun and remover for recovering chair seats at home
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: tools for maintenance teams recovering treatment beds, salon and gym benches
