Firewood Delivery in Yzerfontein

Delivery to Yzerfontein

The Firewood Company delivers kaggelhout, braai wood, Namibian hardwood and charcoal to Yzerfontein, Pearl Bay and the smallholdings along the R315 for R350 per drop, on a fixed West Coast route twice a month on a Friday, and the driver carries the bags to the garage or the braai area and stacks them — that is in the fee.

Delivery fee: R350 a drop, the same for the village, Pearl Bay and the plots. The West Coast route carries a R2,000 minimum order — it is a long way for a fortnightly truck.

Delivery days: twice a month on a Friday, and only then. Coming runs: Fri 23 Oct, Fri 13 Nov, Fri 27 Nov and Fri 11 Dec. It is a fixed route, so order to the calendar; checkout shows the next run before you pay.

Cut-off: Wednesday 15:00 for that Friday’s truck. After that the wood waits a fortnight for the next run, so order the week before the long weekend, not the day before.

Carry-in and stacking: in the fee, truck to garage. If you want the bags emptied into a closed wood store, unbagging is R10 a bag at checkout.

What a route-sized order looks like, delivered: twenty bags of kameeldoring at R120 plus the R350 fee comes to R2,750, comfortably over the R2,000 minimum. Two households on one street often share a drop to get there.

Access: Yzerfontein is small and the streets are wide, so the truck gets close. Say whether the wood goes to a garage, a store room or straight to the braai area, and if the house is a holiday let, who meets the driver.

The quiet one on this stretch of coast

Yzerfontein is the quiet one on this stretch of coast. No lagoon, no marina — a harbour, a long white beach that runs sixteen miles towards Langebaan, and houses built to face the sea and turn their backs on the wind. The wind is the whole story of firewood here. When it is down, the village braais on the stoep every night; when it is up, everybody goes inside and lights the hearth instead, so a Yzerfontein house needs both kinds of wood in the same week. Salt air is the second story: anything stored outside picks up damp within weeks, and a wood store that is not closed on the weather side is just a pile of wet bloekom by August.

Most of the houses are weekend and holiday places, with a handful of year-round residents who know exactly which Friday the truck comes. The fortnightly route suits both — a holiday house orders for a long weekend and keeps the bags in the garage; a resident orders once a month and has it stacked before the cold front.

What we’d put on the truck for a Yzerfontein house: eight kameeldoring for the braai, six bloekom for the hearth on the windy nights, two bags of Namibian hardwood mix for the braai, and a box of heat logs for the flat-topped combustion stove — R2,000 cleared, two woods, both jobs covered.

What Yzerfontein orders

Kameeldoring 18kg — R120 — dense, slow, and it holds coals through a long evening on the stoep. The braai wood for a house that braais most nights.

Blue Gum / Bloekom Seasoned 20kg — R109 — the hearth wood for the evenings the wind sends everybody indoors. Lights without argument and burns even.

Namibian Hardwood Eco / Heat Logs 10kg — R115 — twelve compressed hardwood logs in a box — same size every time, low ash, and they store on a shelf indoors where the sea air can’t reach.

Yzerfontein firewood delivery — FAQ

How much is firewood delivery to Yzerfontein?

R350 flat per drop, to Yzerfontein, Pearl Bay and the smallholdings on the R315. The West Coast route carries a R2,000 minimum order, and the fee shows at checkout before you pay.

Which Friday does the truck come?

Twice a month on a Friday, about two weeks apart. Coming runs: Fri 23 Oct, Fri 13 Nov, Fri 27 Nov and Fri 11 Dec. Order by Wednesday 15:00 and you are on that Friday’s truck.

Where should we keep firewood in Yzerfontein?

Inside, or in a store with a closed side to the weather. Sea air and the south-easter get into an open carport and a bag left on the stoep. Buy for the fortnight, keep it in the garage, and it lights first time.

Can we share a drop with a neighbour to reach the minimum?

Yes, and on this route it is common. Place one order for the two houses, put both addresses in the notes if they are on the same street, and the driver stacks each pile where it belongs.

Is the wood dry when it comes off the Friday truck?

Yes. Every bag is seasoned and kept under cover at our Parow yard until it goes on the West Coast truck, so it lights properly and burns hot instead of hissing. That is the Dry Guarantee we have stood behind for 25 years: if a bag disappoints, tell us and we make it right. Keep it in the garage and it stays that way. Read the Dry Guarantee.

Do you deliver to Pearl Bay and the smallholdings on the R315?

Yes — Pearl Bay and the plots along the R315 towards Darling are on the same Friday truck as the village, at R350 a drop. Give us the plot name or number and the gate in the order notes; checkout confirms the fee from your postcode before you pay.

Can you deliver to a holiday let when the owner is not there?

Yes, if someone can let the driver in — a caretaker, a cleaner, or a neighbour with a key. Put their name and number and where the wood store is in the order notes, and the driver stacks the bags there. If the house is locked and nobody is around, order for a Friday when it is open.

How much should a Yzerfontein holiday house order at a time?

Enough for the fortnight between trucks and no more, because storage is the limit here. The list above is what we would put on the truck for a house that braais when the wind is down and lights the hearth when it is up; the R2,000 minimum is roughly that size of order.
