Ladysmith: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Ladysmith lies on the Klip River below the Drakensberg, where summers are hot and winters bring cold nights and frost, with snow on the passes some years. Households use gas for cooking, geysers and heaters, and the town is a stop for travellers on the N3 and N11 who need camping cylinders refilled. LPG comes in by road from inland and coastal depots to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, with delivery into Ezakheni and the farms. Factories in the Danskraal and Ezakheni industrial areas run forklifts and welding gas. In summer keep cylinders out of direct sun, and in winter keep heaters in ventilated rooms.
Typical gas bottle refills requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 9 kg for the stove or heater refilled every few weeks close to home
- Farms and smallholdings: farm cylinders taken in by bakkie and refilled together to save trips
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: workshops refilling owned cylinders for space heating, drying and small burners
