The precise location is Ekpoma.
I will also need a quote for protector ( If that's the right name) to be installed on the front fence. I think that side of fence should be around 30ft long. I will get you the precise length or more details when we agree to move forward.
I believe this is what you have in mind for the fence. It's called fence rails

@davodguy kindly take a look at the gate here. I just got it off Pinterest. I like it and I suppose you would too

None for now.

You can share and I'll show madam for approval
if it's the building which you call kobo kobo project, I suggest you use slats cause that's where the future is. The traditional gates are fading really fast especially for modern building like yours.

The attached image is relatively cheap. #220,000 can get you the gate.

But my choice is still on slats. The world is moving so let's get on with it

I'm looking at 3-4m.

The width of the land is 9.25m
at 4mtrs, it's almost same size with every other gate which is approximately 14ft. Why not give me an exact measurements of what you want and I will work with it

Ok. Also, does it include the other leaf just for normal entrance (Not car entrance). Is installation and transportation to site cost included in your quote?
sure there will be a provision for a 3ft entrance built into the gate unless you want it outside but I don't think you would want that because of space and stuff.
I don't know your exact location at Benin to be able to get you a quote for delivery. But budget 40-60,000 for delivery to your site. Hanging is for manson even though I maybe on site to explain a thing or two to them if they are not that experienced on such. I will fabricate everything that the gate will require before bringing it to site

What is the purpose of the wrought iron? Is it just for aesthetic? I would like to know more to make an informed decision.
wrought iron. It is basically aesthetics but it is also more durable because it's specially treated. Think about it as treated wood that safe from mots. All iron will eventually rust but wrought iron will outlive every iron.

It's beautiful please

Equal parts.......
How much will it cost to do it....

price remain the same as stated.

Just so we're clear, each leaf of the door will be 28" wide making the two 56" so adding the frame which should be 4" making the total 60" wide

Though I don't have any design in mind, I wouldn't mind the third pic sample (ash/black). For the material, could you provide pricing for the third sample using the 2mm and 2.5mm. Thank you
#520,000 for 2.5mm 450,000 for the 2mm. Kindly note that there is use of wrought iron on the design. If we should remove them, the price comes down to 480,000 and #400,000 respectively

Noise is number one and secondly how durable is the paint? Meanwhile this is the size in question Size of door
1200/2100mm entrance .
first the paint I use is oil paint and I ensure I spray anti rust before the final coating. After that, I spray what I call "varnish" which is a transparent coating that makes it shiny. You also have the option of choosing the colors and the type of paint you want.

I have to tell you that I don't use berger paints please so if you want something of such quality,it will cost a bit more


About the noise, with good hinges like the one in the picture I showed you earlier plus the rubber rimming of the edges, I can tell you that at least 80% of the noise will be eliminated

This is all shades of wrong. If you have had a dead one via an accident, you will understand how important it is to control information.

When my sister died in a road accident this past June,we were begging people not to post the news on social media cause my elder sister just gave birth less than twenty four hours. She may se the news on the internet and have complications from the birth. Her husband was away that my sister is dead but couldn't tell the wife.

I learnt my lesson that period. The fears of my elder sister seeing the news was terrible

Okay. Same first door design but...........
Imagine a full complete double leaf door with that rubber at the sides that reduces the sound during opening

I'm in need of a sliding/rolling gate. It should be 14ft long. Could you provide me with the pricing? The location of the project is Edo state. Let me know if you need more details. Thank you
I need more information of what you want the materials to be. The commercially available ones like 2mm charka plate pan or the one with 2.5mm pan. The later is more durable, heavier and durable. Of course more expensive. Do you have any design in mind.

Something below is good but a bit expensive though. But if you like, I can get you something cheaper.

Costs #800,000

The second one is a bit cheaper. A Nairalander showed me a sample but I made it for someone else

The materials used are:
1.5mm 3 by 1½
2.5mm plain pan
Foreign frame
Wrought iron rod for the designs
And of course rubber bands to reduce the noise. Foreign hinges like the one in this picture will help in reducing the noise too

By Sliding gate, I mean the a single leaf gate with wheel/tire, instead of the popular double leaf that we're used to.

Secondly, I am a detribalised Nigerian. I love everyone irrespective of age, gender, race or religious beliefs. When issues occur, we would deal with it/them and move on. Reaction? Yes it's normal based on when you expect much and you're disappointed.
Possibility of being misunderstood? Yes
Clarification? Yes

Peace
Happy new year in advance
what's the measurements of the place you want the gate installed. That will enable me know what you want. Normally it's about 14-16ft long but it can be customized to your choice

Are there still smooth rods in Nigeria? I've not seen that item in Nigeria for more than 30 years. Really, no joke. I've had design concept made of smooth rods in the past that but my welder couldn't find smooth rods. "Oga, smooth rods no dey Nigeria again"
that Onitsha head bridge market is where you find whatever rod you want

The first window frame, is it a total lock up protector or is there an option for someone to open it from the inside, like to escape incase of fire or the likes.?
to make it have an escape route will require some modifications. What you have here doesn't have such features

Yes, there are a lot of reckless people driving on Lagos Roads, but we still have sane people.

If you can survive Lagos Hustle and bustle, you can survive any where in the world.

Notice that most Police Commissioners that served in Lagos always end up becoming IG, until Buhari came.

A case in point is Mike Okiro and MD Abubakar.

That rugged life makes people thick
has it occurred to you that some people just want to make money, invest and dey on the low-key. That's what I want. You see madness, my life abhor it. And yes I hustle like mad

You don't understand this case.

Number 1. The guy only claimed he was duped, we have not heard from his supplier to know if the story is true or not.
Number 2. He could be lying about the whole thing because he is the tribalistic type.
Number 3. He didn't make any efforts to call in the police to prosecute the alleged offender.
Number 4. He didn't even find the man in his shop so they can iron out the difference.
Number 5. He didn't even wait for the market union to conclude their investigation into the matter.
Number 6. He blew his short fuse, and accused all Igbos of being thieves.
Number 7. He mentioned the name of a man who has not shown up online for the world to see.

Don't you think he jumped the gun to call out Igbos? Supposing it's his boys that loaded the items in his absence from the market and he hasn't even returned to ask about what happened when he left the market.

See, what I am still saying is that all are innocent, till he can prove that he has been cheated. And until then, he has no rights to accuse an entire tribe of being criminals.

We are not blaming the victim of crime because we haven't even established a crime was committed, until the other man returns and states his own side of the matter.
I know your endgame is tribalism. Don't drag me into it.

@davodguy you're one of the people I respect here..


Ethnic profiling is wrong anywhere in this world. When I was an apprentice under my boss, I made a stool which I intended to give to my mom as evidence that her son is learning the job. I dedicated time and resources to make it special. It was stolen by a junior apprentice who I usually give money to eat lunch because I earn more than him and his name is Femi. He was later sacked by my boss when he stole a motorcycle from his neighbor. That experience was really painful because I loved the seat and had bragged about it. But that experience will NEVER make me assume that everyone from his place is a thief. The Femi I know is a thief and not his family or tribe.

Having said that, there's a big problem in Nigeria. A country where someone is cheated and we still blame him and not the thief. Like what really happened to our humanity?

Seriously we really need to rethink our lives. Person was robbed and we blame him for not being smart. What happened to trust. Remove trust and all of we vendors will go broke. Upon how we carry religion for head. Even God can't save us at this point.
