What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Decks and stoeps in Potchefstroom face hot summer sun and cold dry winters, so oil or sealer needs reapplying often. Pine treated to H3 suits a budget student block, while balau or composite works for owners who want little upkeep. Guesthouses near Ikageng and on the farms toward Ventersdorp may want larger decks, where drainage and non-slip boards are important.
