| How Many 9" Blocks Are Required To Fence A 60ft By 120 Ft Plot? by SRIS: 8:50pm On Jun 26, 2012 |
Any builder in the house, please how many blocks do i need to fence a 120" by 60" plot of land to about 2meter height? |

120" is about 37m 60" is about 18m Perimeter of building = 2 x (37+18) = 110m Subtract the portion occupied by the gate (Assume a single 3m wide gate) New perimeter = 107m Assuming you need 3 layers of block below ground (0.25x3=0.75m) and 2 meters above ground, that will be a total height of 2.75m height of block wall. Therefore, area of fencing = 107m x 2.75m = 294.25 sq.m. A single block is approx 0.45m x 0.25m = 0.1125sq.m Thus, number of blocks needed = 294.25/0.1125 = 2616 blocks. You can add 10% to that for blocks that may break during the purchase and any other contingencies. So 2800 blocks is a fair estimate. The foundation of the blocks is also important. You will need at least (300 x 0.15 x 0. 675 =) 31cu.m of mass concrete for that. Hope this helps.  21 Likes 4 Shares |

@ SRIS, I did an elaborate calculation for you to see earlier but unfortunately, nairaland mods have hid the post for reasons best known to them. Anyway, the summary is that u need about 2800 blocks for this. 1 Like |

Any builder in the house, please how many blocks do i need to fence a 120" by 60" plot of land to about 2meter height? The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence assume you are fencing a land of 120 ft by 60 ft a standard plot The land in question is 120 ft length and since we have two length that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft the breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadth that equal 120 ft plus 240 that is 360 ft perimeter line fencing. the calculation (we are to convert this 360 ft to inches) since a foot is 12 inches, now let us multiply 12 inches x 320 ft which is 4320 inches, so now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around this perimeters of 4320 inches which is still 320 ft, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches is the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 214 line of blocks, then will must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 percent of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks is standard. for your pillars between the fencing, let assume 6 blocks apart before the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

he simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence assume you are fencing a land of 120 ft by 60 ft a standard plot
The land in question is 120 ft length and since we have two length that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft
the breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadth that equal 120 ft plus 240 that is 360 ft perimeter line fencing.
the calculation
(we are to convert this 360 ft to inches) since a foot is 12 inches, now let us multiply 12 inches x 320 ft which is 4320 inches, so now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around this perimeters of 4320 inches which is still 320 ft, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches is the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 214 line of blocks, then will must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 percent of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks is standard.
for your pillars between the fencing, let assume 6 blocks apart before the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.
Thanks for the opportunity giving me to explain this simple arithmetic.

Life Light Properties I really like your simplified breakdown here but you didn't include the other factors... Sand, gravel/granite, wood etc 1 Like |

Do you mean 35 blocks are required per pillar? HsLBroker:
