In Benin, i got HDF for 12500, mdf for 8500. This was last week wednesday

praise010:


Please this is becoming excessive.

sonnie10:

See something I was begging someone to do for 850k around Orlu. He still said I have to provide the cable and the tank. I did but I am wondering if that is the normal practice, after all that money.

My welder initial gave me the local local (Galvanized pipe track and big local gate roller) but my friend Nevosys (my automatic gate installer) recommended that we should change the track to round iron bar and supplied me a matching imported roller wheels.

Your choice of gate roller wheels matter. Most welders just chose what’s available in the market.

There are different types:

1. V Groove
2. U Groove
3. Round Groove

Be sure of the type you’re installing on your gate and ensure you have a matching track.

Keep it simple. Good gates aren’t needlessly expensive, they’re just functional.

this is the ground roller I use.

You give people a quotation and they tell you how your prices is higher than that of the other person. I will only advise you give it to him. Eventually, you will see the difference.


The major reason I insist on working with very good materials for people especially from here is because most times, the person that will receive and confirm the job isn't the person you discussed with. So it's good to ensure that I do something that they won't have a reason to condemn. If I do a job and your person says it's of lower quality, trust me, s/he has an ulterior motive. Either he wants a cut by inflating the cost and wants someone he can influence

Jasobry:


Exactly.. but I need samples

spyder880:


Thank you bro, how is your side?

EgunMogaji2:


I prefer unequal swinging gates.

If you go for sliding gate then don’t agree to use just common L iron for the fixed part on the floor. The roller and the fixed part on the floor must have as much close contact as possible. Also go for rollers with sealed bearing to avoid having to oil them and thus creating that nasty oil track in the compound.



Spend some time on Pinterest. Any good welder can recreate for you locally.

Enjoy the ride.

There are many designs out there but I’m working on this simple ones right now.

I was shown laser cut designs but I’m not interested cause I foresee them going out of fashion in not-too-distant future

Just know that it won't be a new business entry into the industry.

A few of those companies already exists at different levels in the industry, particularly in the Lagos market. The issue is that most can't scale and they're really not necessarily cheaper at the end of the day.

If you take a wholistic view of your project, formwork/metal shutter hire in any form is not cheaper. The thing is that people just let you the customer take a myopic view when doing comparison.

I think I came here in Dec/Jan looking for shutters to hire and offered a typical job to be used for comparison sake. In reality, i found out that the price-setters adjusted their prices upward to match the general increase in building materials. And those are shutters they've had in inventory.
We tried shutters for that stage of the project and it wasn't sustainable for the remainder. We've since gone back to buying new or neatly used plywood/marine boards.

They are also not always neater than your plywood. Some deformed shutters leaves you with bulge worse than planks.

Laser isn't going anywhere soon. It's yet to even penetrate into the market. A very handful of dealers have the machine here in Nigeria and they don't even know how to operate it to precision like the imported.

Another thing is that it's too expensive. Imagine 65,000/meter. How many people can afford it especially if the job is about 50m as it's with regular building now
