Jasobry:
Gate must be a see through.. estate policy. Which i love.

I didn't know there was a rule

Focusmind:
It would look nice. Not putting the pan in the middle per say but a little bit up so that anyone standing in front of the gate will still not be able to peep except if the person bends or jump. The pan should be able to block direct prying eyes from passers by but still create see through up and down the gate.

sure that works too

Jasobry:
We are considering this gate but will be without pan behind. Will be see through

it's a very good design but put pan at the middle. Leaving the up and down open. I don't know if you understand what I mean

Jasobry:
Yeah. We are looking at 3 by 1.5mm.
I love the boldness.

bearing in mind that this will be under rain and sun, it's my opinion that you use something else. Personally I use 1.5mm to do doors that are protected from the direct rain and sun.

Beautiful gate Michlins.

Please, what size of GP tank will be adequate for 6 to 8 occupants in a bungalow.
2ndly, can i get material cost for the tank stand using galvanised pipe. Thanks

thanks for the compliments. About the tank, I will suggest you use H channel. Even if it's 5 by 3. Do 15ft tank stand. It should carry two(2) 750 gallons on top and another 500 gallons at the down.


Don't risk your project with galvanized pipes. See this failure. A Nairalander shared the project with me

What Nigeria army can not do, iswap fighters have done it

Jasobry:
For our fence rail and gate.. we are considering 3 inches square pipes ,straight line with no design.

Pictures coming soon

use 3 by 1½" pipe if the goal is to replicate the exact design. The choice of quality depends on how much you're willing to spend. You can order up to 5mm from Onitsha

spyder880:
Thank you bro

it's one thing to know your work but another thing altogether to make it look very good and appealing

spyder880:
Decking beams reinforcement works.......

the precision is what I like

The pictures don't do real justice as to how gorgeous this gate is.


Personally I believe this is the most beautiful gate I have made in recent memory

This job is already completed and now enroute to site this evening. Thanks to y'all that followed me on this journey.

I hope we do it again.


I'm hoping to get more pictures when it's hanged on site

nonnyah:
Michlin can I get your contact.Need a tank stand constructed ASAP.

07032fourfour6904 is my contact

Juliusmalema:
Very weak submission.

my opinion is for people who have brains not for people who sold theirs for a plate of porridge

Obiano was living outside Nigeria when Peter brought him home.

Peter was living in Enugu abi Lagos when Ojukwu brought him here.

Ngige wasn't living in Anambra when he became the governor.

Only mbadinuju was living here and he was an utter failure.

Let's leave stupid and lazy campaign for real issues. Tell us what your candidate can do and how he intends to achieve it

When e reach our turn, please remember to call us oh.

Good morning sir

spyder880:
I made the doors to be 2.4m high. 3m will be difficult to find in the market.

custom made. Everything about this house isn't regular. I have seen this guy do 8.5ft door

Focusmind:
Baba Egun,
I am not a fan of local doors but I will still take locally produced hardwood doors over low quality Turkish imported. Even those local hardwood front doors are not cheap. Good ones goes from 300k and above.

The artisan that did my handrails begged that I should allow him do the back exit door for me. I showed him the design I wanted and he delivered something close. Though it lacked some fine finishing I would have loved but I still accepted it. Since it will just be at the back of the house, nothing spoil

this door beautiful truly

Buhari is the dead of this country

GoodFaith:
My brother, I go pay 40k for iron door two panel?
for tenant home all doors

give me a call or text me on 07032fourfour6904

smartnoni:
I actually got the contactfrom lagos
But the projectis is in anambra close to nnewi.i don't know if u can recommend any one for me

sir am in Nnewi Anambra State. I can do this job exactly as it is for you

smartnoni:
can i get any link...am actually not in the country now
So i wanted to be sure of what am buying before sending anyone to the market

I am sure I can make this particular door for you

smartnoni:
Some of the doors

some of the pictures here are from the internet you know. Let's see some finished products

smartnoni:
Yea a bit expensive....but am so much concerned about quality
The external security door with 4 or 5mm pan goes for 550k according to them...but i don't know if it's better than the turkey doors

550k for this

Wahala oh

n3xt:
Is 80k expensive?

Common contemporary finished wooden door cost 200k at my end.

Even a single burglar bar design on one of my build is around 105k.

If I can get exactly that same door at 200k, I’m ready to pay.

sorry sir. I was guaging prices based on Nnewi people. No body from Nnewi will pay that amount for "iron door".
I forgot that people here are all rich men.

smartnoni:
I am actually that someone
..seeking for an advice ..check out the picture below,someone suggested that for me..he said they can make the same door with 4mm pan inside .

it's quite possible sir but it's going to be very expensive oh. Budget upwards of 80k

omanzo02:
General environmental comfort is the priority, I won't sacrifice ventilation space for door space, universal accepted standard door is good enough for my build.

I see your point and it's valid very much. I didn't think of it that way

YeyeBoyfriend:
I'd like to get it but location is a barrier

I can understand. But where are you

Federal government job is one of the easiest way to escape poverty in Nigeria.

But getting a job at the headquarters of a bank is the dream.


Me I don't know what to tell you

YeyeBoyfriend:
can I get the 4ft for 30k sir, and where's your location?

no sir you can't get it at that price sir. Three months ago was possible but not again.

I'm in Nnewi Anambra State.

The materials used here is 1.5mm pipes for the framing. Foreign bolt and hinges.

YeyeBoyfriend:
good morning sir, how much for the 4ft and 3ft doors respectively?

40,000 and 30,000 respectively

omanzo02:
Alright, I think the 3 ft seem perfect for the space I have, I would rather have a wider windows than door, ventilation is a daily occurrence than moving stuff.

if I understand correctly, this is a commercial build not a private home right. .


So what you want isn't the priority here but what the occupants will like. Having said that, your house I believe already has its measurements

spyder880:
I agree with you, this is a new team I selected and started working with in the last two months, my previous main team has become sloppy and carefree because of a lot of factors. That team leader has become rich, as well as some key member of the team so they find it difficult to take instructions or corrections. They wont also take risks like working at heights and staying for long periods in a site.

The problem with Nigeria is the absence of good workers that are well trained on building skills, there are so few good workers that some neighbouring countries are filling up our vacancies while Nigerians are roaming the streets searching for work and easy money, while there is work right at their backyards.

do you know what's funny about the whole thing, they'l will blame you for their lackluster attitude that got them sacked. According to them, it's you and not them that's at fault.


Nigeria and her people are all funny

omanzo02:
The 4ft is double door or am I missing something?

yes the 4ft is the double doors, the single is 3ft.

The first is 4ft and the later picture is 3ft door

omanzo02:
I haven't had any problem move fridges or any furnitures through 3 or 3.5 ft entrances or door.

that's ok. Ten single doors is what you need then
