He supplied mine and it was POD. The woods were okay in quality, the only issue I had was with the length. So tell him and emphasis that the length must be accurate and if there are lesser ones, the difference should not be more than 2ft. Anything beyond that should be unacceptable. The guy is a nice guy. Best of luck.
I did mine POD too with him (@hslbroker2) and I never had to worry about anything.

The only issue I have is my carpenter has been mad that I didn’t allow him to see the supplier because he want to tell him all his woods are bad grin

Pop board ? 1.2 x 3 m , 12mm thickness ?

I am ready to pickup a 1000 with profiles if price is good . Keep me posted abeg
I got mine yesterday. I’d ask the supplier for a better deal for you. He’s a direct importer.

100 boards is just 10% of 1,000.

first, gussets can NEVER make a tank stand fail. As important as they are, they can NEVER make a tank stand fail.

When building a tank stand, first consider the foundation. A tank stand is as good as the foundation. In the case of subject under discussion, the foundation was too wide. So the weight of the tank wasn't resting on the channels leading to the foundation. For a tank that high, standalone foundation won't work but chained foundation like in the picture below

Weight of the load. This tank stand was constructed for two 750 gallons of water at maximum but the owner went and used a 1000 gallons and 500 gallons. The weight was disproportionate which led to the failure.

Another thing is quality of materials. The quality of iron is dropping daily and getting more expensive too. So most times when finance is highly constrained, contractors go for the cheapest alternative. 1½" angle iron is currently looking like 1¼" and it's lighter too.


Even when all these are adhered to, experience and professionalism is important.
From all indications, the problem is not from the foundation but inability of the structural members to withstand the stress imposed.

May we never risk our project because of paucity of funds
What’s the guarantee this is caused by paucity of fund?

What if the owner paid more and the installer is not experienced enough to handle such work?

I had a similar experience on a site. The installer bought good materials but failed to use gusset plate where necessary. We had to decommission and reinstall.

Like spending 15k for a 5ft x 4ft window?
If it’s exactly what you shared, it’ll cost a little less than 15k if you’re using 16mm rod.

Why aren’t you considering using square pipe or square rods instead of the type of rod you chose?

Note: I’m not a welder. I give price based on what I’d pay my welder to fabricate this as a contractor while providing him with all the tools he need to achieve the work.

Easier to maintain but using cable tray is more expensive than normal PVC pipes.
Also, you can not use single core cable on cable trays. You have to go for flexible cables i.e double insulation cable which is 2-core, 3-core cables
I agree completely but this is a commercial project.

In few days, I’ll be pulling some cables in one of my ongoing projects and we chose to do cable tray.

My client asked “Why?”

I replied “It makes visual inspections of cables possible and easier. Also it’s much easier and less stressful to maintain cables in trays.”

It was indeed glorious day for business administration students National diploma as they are the first set to ever graduated at the ikorodu campus
They started the journey in 2018,it suppose to finished in 2020 but because of the global pandemic it reached out to 2021.

But my major concerns is the signout polo slighted on this particular student of the institutions.

The caption is * LASPOTECH no Hard,Just Buy Textbook *
The write up could be encouraging and can be discouraging
It depends how you reasons it.
This guy could be insulting lecturer and he could be encouraging students to buy and reads their textbooks and pass exam.
Go Through it
He also has another wonderful write up at his back ....* TIME to learn work*
I guessing he is mocking the.lack of work in the labour market in the country.
He’s right. It’s age-long tradition of the institution.

Big thanks sir….
Free delivery issabae!

I’m looking for a moisture resistant outdoor paint (weathershield, acrylic or enamel) to use on the tower above. I don’t mind sealing it with clear satin polyurethane.

I just want something that can protect the tower surface against multiple types of damage.

Let me know if you have something for me.

I’ve used all the products highlighted in red above, I can say they’re very good.

Nice one. I trust you’d have a corner for veggies

The Covid19 lockdown made me have a rethink on florals. I have 3 coconut tree. I took one down last year while planning a new build.
