Coiner:
Greetings builders.

Please there's something I seek to understand. It's about entrance gate positions in houses. For years I have noticed the conventional way is having the gate at the extreme. But is there a reason this is done? How about ease of driving in and out.. Is that considered?

See pic for example..

Please is copping necessary for slant roof? Is there an alternate way of holding down the roof incase of heavy wind?

For a hidden mono pitch roof, the parapet (wall) offers enough protection against wind.

A coping doesn't serve against wind effect.
Coping is used to protect parapet(walls against dampness due to rain. It comes with a trotting which allows rain to drop off from the coping to the ground without touching the walls (unfortunately most builders don't do it here). It is important your coping projects up to 150mm so as to offer better protection to the wall

For a mono pitch roof with eaves and fascia, the steel rope/ tie rod binding the wall plate and tie beam to do roof beam or last course of block is enough to act against wind effect except the wind forces in your locality is extreme.

Education still remains the foundation.

You stated the reason alreadyfor ease of driving in and out
Imagine if the gate was positioned at the center in the picture sent ....dats W for wahala sir

UC92:


It isn't ideal. Designers, builders and home owners just do that for want of space. You will agree with me that most homes where the gates are placed at the extreme, the style of parking there is usually tandem parking.

If your lot can afford a turning radius of 6m for cars, go ahead and place your gate wherever you want.

Tiztonio:


Thank you brother… Well explained but I don’t fully get the procedure for the monopitch coz that the oattern im going with. I intended binding the wallplate from the lintel/beam up to the roof

Would like to know where one can get cedar woods in southwest here . Or some other woods that can withstand environmental effects

sonnie10:

I don’t think cedar is more durable than mahogany or oaks.
Just that cedar is not locally available in Nigeria, so even when you find one. It could be more expensive than the better locally available options.
Also know that any untreated wood, whether cedar or mahogany would not withstand weather elements for long.

Dirkcoyt:

Thank you very much . Na second time you go save me be this with your tips . First time was with shipping from alibaba.

So you suggest a locally sourced treated mahogany wood will do the trick still in naija. Thanks again
