Cylinders, safety & special gases in George: local notes
Sawmills, workshops and warehouses in the George industrial area and Pacaltsdorp industrial area run forklifts on LPG exchange and rent welding gas. Damp, salty air near Herold's Bay and Wilderness rusts cages and padlocks, so ask for a coated cage. Check hoses and regulators with soapy water before winter, as damp and age crack old hoses.
George: the supply, the weather and the buildings
George is the main town of the Garden Route, set on a plateau below the Outeniqua mountains, with rain spread through the year, cool winters and mild summers. Homes in Heatherpark, King George Park and the golf estates cook, heat water and warm rooms with gas, and guest houses and restaurants in town and at Wilderness run gas kitchens and patio heaters. LPG comes in by road on the N2 from Mossel Bay and on the N9 and N12, to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery to the smallholdings and farms. Damp air rusts cylinders kept on wet ground, so use a raised base, and keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
Typical empty gas cylinders requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a second empty 9 kg so one is full while the other goes for refilling
- Guest houses, lodges and venues: small owned cylinders for chalet braais, lamps and the staff kitchen
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: spare owned cylinders so a food truck or takeaway is never caught empty
