The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence


The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot

This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence .
The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240

The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120
Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.

The calculation

(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.

Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.

Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks and that is all you need anything aside from this is fake and fraud, this calculation is derive by me professionally and i have been using it without any mistake, but always remember to add 10 % of blocks to it because of broken blocks, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 70 blocks, is standard.

for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks far from the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars, 1 bag of cement to 2 pillars standard, that is 17 bags plus 40 bags that is 47 bags is need by me to do this fence, if i'm in position and you should also to add 15 bags for floor blinding of the fence making 62 bags of cement.

Then, we need to minus the gate and the pillars that are also taking space in the fence.

The gate is 12 ft, let us assume the gate columns or pillars is 14 inches each, we have 2 pillars holding the gate, that is 28 inches or 2. 4 feet plus 12 feet that is 14.4 feet or approximately 15 feet.

Remember we already calculate the pillars that 40 pillars is need for the measurement.

Each pillar or column for 9 inches concrete is 9 inches square, 9 x 40 = 360 inches that is (30 feet + 15 feet = 45 feet ) / 18 inches = 30 blocks multiply by the number of coaches, 30 x 9 = 270 block minus 2160 blocks = 1890 blocks in total.

40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.

3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.

90 planks of soft wood for the framing.

1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns)

5 trucks of sharp sand

Thanks for the opportunity giving me to explain this simple arithmetic.

As a matter of fact, building a house is not in any way easy at all and it makes me wonder how the artisans and okada riders in my side do end up building while some bank managers or high end civil servants still live as a tenant.

If you’re reading this and you’re living in your personal house, Na man you be!!!!!

I briefly calculated the amount needed to fence a plot and it’s around 1M, what about 2plots?

A quick question, people who have like 10acres and above, how do they afford to do the property’s perimeter fencing?

Good evening Sirs, my plumber gave me this quotation for the conduit piping of a 2 bedroom flat. It has 3 bathrooms and one water heater.

I'd like to have it reviewed if the price isn't on the high side sirs. Thanks in anticipation.

If your plumber is using thick at least 3.2mm thick the price is okay. But what seeing in that quote is lite pipe and remember he is doing a conduit syst and not surface

I couldn't get Lafarge cement for my build plastering and I have been hearing lots of people complaining about dangote cement for plastering job.

Is there really any difference between the two cements especially as it concern plastering job?

Sure. It’s not impossible. There’s a lot you can achieve on 300sqm

Here’s something we did on less than 450sqm in 2013. A fully featured 5 bedroom semi-detached duplex (all room en-suite and cross ventilated)

Here is a link to a thread on our recently completed paint supply and spraying service delivery.

I was busy bro, and I think we just finished chatting, which I have give u the quote you need sir.

There is a trick everyone here should observe both prospects & project owners, builders, engineers & QS here should observe.

If u are buying woods be 18ft anywhere from Ore to the east always go for 12ft because if u are going by 18ft u will be charger double, instead of one and half price.

A case study.

A friend of mine, we graduated together from University of Lagos, he was building at Amagba, Benin, in Edo. He was at roofing stage, so he called me for woods, I was not around to do the work, so he went to a sawmill close to Airport road, when he got there, they told him 2x2@N500, 2x3@N600, 2x4@N700, 3x4@N1, 300 all by 12ft.

Then 2x2@N1, 000, 2x3@N1, 300, 2x4@N3, 000, 3x4@N2, 500 all by 18ft.

I told him to join me and the seller on conference call, I told the seller to give my bro discount because am also a seller and the woods are many, and we are going to buy by from all by 12ft, he agreed, and we end the call

My friend call me back Privately and said u are smart.

I told him we are both smart because they taught us calculus.

Let try to always cut cost in whatever we are building on Earth Because it is for our next generations use.

We must cost cut to the best result, quality and luxury taste.

We must build on eco friendly.

We must build to sustain any natural occurrences

Build for comfort.

Build to sustain mankind.

And this thread created by Hajji can help many prospects builders and onwers.

This one of the best thread on nairaland.

Note there are genuises architects, Engineers, QS, Builders and Artisans here.

Some people only come to nairaland because of this thread as guests

Some register on nairaland just to be able to comment because of this particular thread.

This thread is 6years old

Kudos to Hajji

Where can one get the best quality wood for roofing, if cost is not an issue? Building is in Owerri Imo state

yes sir

Is it OK to use the following formula for external/outer wall plaster mix?

1 part cement: 2 part fine sand: 2 part stone dust

This is a variation of the 1 part cement: 3 part fine sand formula

Key consideration is longevity of the plaster due to exposure to the elements.

For internal walls considering

1 part cement: 3 part fine sand: 3 part stone dust

Please kindly advise.

Thanks
