LPG & gas cylinders in Cape Town: local notes
Delivery of 48 kg pairs is common in Constantia, Bergvliet and Durbanville, where gas runs a geyser, hob and fireplace. In the City Bowl, Gardens and Tamboerskloof many flats only allow a 9 kg cylinder, so exchanges at a refill station in Woodstock or Observatory are routine. Blouberg and Milnerton complexes usually have body corporate rules on where cylinders may stand.
Cape Town: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Cape Town winters are wet, windy and cold, and many homes rely on gas heaters and fireplaces from May to September, alongside the gas hobs and geysers fitted during load shedding. LPG arrives by road from depots near the harbour and the northern industrial areas to dealers, refill stations, hardware stores and delivery services across the metro. Restaurants in the City Bowl, Sea Point and the Waterfront run gas ranges and patio heaters, and warehouses in Epping and Montague Gardens use forklift gas. Salt air along the Atlantic seaboard and the False Bay coast rusts cylinders and cages, and the south-easter can topple loose cylinders, so stand them in a cage on a firm base.
Who asks for 9 kg gas cylinders around Cape Town, most often first:
- Homeowners: a stove, a three panel heater or the braai run off one cylinder at a time
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: food stalls and small takeaways running a single burner or warmer
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: flats and townhouses where the body corporate allows only small cylinders
