Greetings great Elders in the house, please can I use a chain link fence in a portion of a fence area that has high rate of water flow, and this is the second time it's pulling down the fence in that partition.
Secondly can the chain link hold some quantity of sand that is been washed along with the water without affecting the chain link?

Thanks Elders.

You can do a proper fence that’ll stand the water if you wish. It’ll have a concrete base. I think they call it raft foundation.

Who know the reason for this?

I think the casting was done with gravel not granite, and some gravel has a lot of clay in them, to use gravel for your casting, you need to flush out the clay and do proper mixing with cement, if not you may end up with something like this.

Thank you very much sir, I've suggested that to the client, but he needs a temporary thing to close the space.. Before he budgets for the retaining wall.. Hence the reason for me asking for the chain link sir..

I wish manageable quality like this could be found in Ibadan. They’ll at least give me a good start to plane and saw.

Thanks for sharing Sir.

The issue is that, in most western region plank seller association market, they peg it down that there wood size will be 10.5ft long and is killing the Beauty of formwork and others wood work finishings

You can only get special size in few mkt now ( let’s say 10pec) and when you hear the price you will run like USAIN BOLT

Sawmill Eku:
2 by 4=#1,900
2 by 3=#1,550
2 by 2=#1,100
2 by 6=#3,500
3 by 4=#2,000

This is price I got last week …… 11ft ooo (bandsaw)

But normal “fadala is
Full size
2 by 4=750
2 by 3=#600
2 by 2=#450
3 by 4=#1,250
2 by 6=#1,250
1 by 2=#2,500

Look at the price diff
My client said pls buy the “fadala “
The diff In price is too much

I'll gladly pay the N1,250 price difference. My time is worth more than the $2 difference. The time to work the plank and the cost of electricity/petrol and the saw blades.

Both are roofing plank

The diff is that the 1st one is
12ft and very straight

The 2nd one 10.5ft looks rough, not straight enough, it’s the regular one you see at every plank mkt
true2home(m): 4:00pm On Sep 30, 2021
Excessive Deflection... Is either the reinforcement in Tension isn't adequate or the Span is longer than the Code calls for. All in all, this can be a big danger warning if there are more areas of the building experiencing such phenomenon

Dude, i will need the total cost of this application per SQM. Labor, material, and installation. I am experimenting on Alternative Surface treatment. Plastering is the cheapest and readily available method, but i believe one should be able to find another materials that are cheaper and still effective for external usage such as Fence wall. What we currently spend on perimeter walling is stupid in my Opinion. The thing dey always vex pesin!!!



n3xt:




Maybe it’ll cost a little more but at N3,000 / 0.6sqm (excluding studs and installation cost which is considerably reasonable), I think the cost would be cheaper than plastering/screeding/painting or plastering and applying tiles to achieve same result in the long run.



The pics below are naija installs. Currently working on one, would share final looks here and on kobocity.



I agree completely but it can’t be compared with the benefits of a material that offers more in of value.

1. Low maintenance
2. Durability (doesn’t crack or warp)
3. Aesthetically pleasing
4. Waterproof / Fireproof




Not new though. @dominionng has been using this for years.

If only we have security, a dwarf wooden fence should do with no need for a fancy steel gate either.

grin I’ll do the needful once I’m through with the job. It’s not just what we spent on perimeter walling but what we spent on ancillary buildings too.

I’m currently working on a power and generator house that’s not too conventional.

Trust me you will build iron dwarf fences, that would be the fence in such scenario. Lucky you, if you choose, you will be in this business till Jesus come again because security can never be fixed in a country where majority of the people are very hungry.

The cost of securing a house in Nigerian is very expensive. We pay over and over again to achieve one aim.
* Build a prison wall
*Build a gate
*install electric fence/barb wire
*employer security man and build him a house
*install CCTV camera
* You add one more dude to your household in the
name of a dog.

It is well according to church goers.
