@Spyder and All, I am looking to build a gazebo or 'OBI' in my compound. I prefer the ones with thatched roof like this one. Does anybody know what the guys that make them are called. Are they in Imo State?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

^^^ I am sure they do the work in Imo state, just visit any drinking joint where they have a 'bush bar' and collect address of the guys that did their own.

Somehow new to Nairaland and i have been following all the exciting threads by Oga Landlord (Spyder who abandoned us on SMN). I started my 4 bedroom duplex country home before i discovered this site. Iam now at the roofing stage. Just came back from home to see the extent of work before choosing a roofing colour. I have noticed something in some of the buildings i saw at home that were roofed with aluminum. The colour on the aluminum roofing sheet is already fading in some of the buildings. I also noticed this fading and peeling of colour in some buildings in lagos. Does it mean that fake aluminum sheet was used or is it the effect of weather?. In addition, how do you know the real aluminum roofing sheet.

@ NL1960, my man I didn't abandon my guys at SMN, in fact it was SLS that threw me out so roughly with his hard-line policies meant to hurt investors whom he believes are 'gamblers' grin grin.

As for the fading aluminum colors, I blame this on some of the manufacturers of roofing sheets, some of them don't oven bake their sheets. You know our naija way of half done jobs and craze for quick profits. I think the weather also plays a big part in all these, our sunshine here is harsh compared to some other parts of the world. Let me also add that some colors seem to resist fading and last longer on their original colors than others, I will show some more colors when I get to my PC later this morning.

Oga Spyder, when you see a bad roofing job, please tell us what made the roof bad, that is how we could learn oh . . .

Actually, these are not all, but some of the important ones are here. I think the grey beige (as they call it is more durable, abi wetin una think?) That color looks like carton color.

Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by NL1960: 10:27am On Oct 04, 2011
This is the building that i want to roof. I want to use bush green step tiles because of what i saw in the post 'Roofing A 4 Bedroom Bungalow With Gatehouse (pictures)' by Spyder. This is supposedly the back of the building which opens to our family inner compound.

Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by NL1960: 10:28am On Oct 04, 2011
This is the front of the building. Comments are welcomed as iam still open to adjustments before roofing.

This picture was taken from the balcony in the picture above. The long blue line in the foreground shows the great River Niger.

Somebody suggested cream colour step tiles roofing sheet to me. He said that it is durable, does not fade and can easily go with other colours especially aluminum windows. Anybody that has a picture of a cream aluminum roof should please paste. Iam yet to see any.
Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by spyder880(m): 6:46pm On Oct 05, 2011
Cream? Are you sure they are not talking of the carton color I mentioned earlier, well I will show you two colors tomorrow.

Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by spyder880(m): 2:30pm On Oct 10, 2011
in case you like this style

Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by NL1960: 10:08am On Oct 11, 2011
I have heard it said somewhere that the colour of your roof should also be the colour of your window. How true is this?. For instance, can i use bush green step aluminum roofing sheet for my roof and then use cream colour aluminum for my windows?. I saw somebody use bush green for roof and also use use the same bush green for windows.
Re: Parapet, Concrete Fascia, and other roofing styles. by spyder880(m): 10:52am On Oct 11, 2011
^^^ this is where artistic impulses take over, bush green goes on well with cream, gold and yellow, so does blue match gold, yellow and cream windows and hoods. Red roofs supports brown finishes and dark brown roofs are better with white, aluminium colour window hoods.

this roof I showed earlier is taking shape.
