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)

About 5 trips of Sharp Sand.

Regards.

Thank you Sir...thank you hslbroker2... I will take my time and go through the calculations and see if I can do my own calculations also... Much appreciated

Hello everybody.... Please how many blocks are needed to fence a 50/100? Is it better to mold or to buy? How many bags of cement will be needed to set the blocks and plaster? How many trips of sand should one get? Please I need help with this information..

HamtabFawaz2:
No, as long as it's sealed. (it can't spoil within a week)

I have kept screeding paint for more than a year and it was still intact.

Thanks for the response...I so much appreciate everyone who contributes on this thread, you all are life savers

Akerewe:
U mean 4 bedroom flat or 4 bedroom en suit?
With foundation? 2.5mili? Well like someone said, start first. U mean with roofing or to lintel alone? I don't know how u want do am oo but am sure e no go reach oo!

Let's say,

Digging of foundation =50k cheapest
Blocks 350×3200pcs= 1,120,000
Cement 1000bags ×4500=360,000
Granite 10 tons = 140,000
Filling red sand 50 tons = 100,000 plus laborers
Dues , local government, area boys, Baale, town planning, foundation receipt from the community, minimum & cheapest 300,000k
Sharp sand 15 tons = 80k
Soft sand 15 tons = 60k
Carpenter foundation & lintel = 150,000 cheapest
Workmanship to lintel 200,000 cheapest
Water 50k
Local Iron bars, iron bender & accessories for lintel = 300,000k minimum
And so on and so forth........





Pls if it's possible, ur analysis is needed Nd also the landmark location of the project for reference

That post was made 8years ago and I think it was possible then...

bolu1986:
They should last up to 6 month or more…

Mind at rest, thank you so much 🙏....

gbadexy:
They definitely didn't put any preservatives in it. Paints with no chemical to preserve to preserve it would spoil and smell within a week.
With good preservatives, it would last for 3 months to a year depending on the type and quantity used.

Okay Sir, thank you so much... 🙏

bolu1986:
Let’s get started


Pop & wall screeding

Lekki

Sir Bolu good morning.... Please do sealed screeding paints get spoilt?

Good evening everyone... Please do screeding paint spoil? I bought materials down only to be told that the paint will spoil within a week.

Hello everybody.... Please how many blocks are needed to fence a 50/100? Is it better to mold or to buy? How many bags of cement will be needed to set the blocks? How many trips of sand should one get? Please I need help with this information..

Money121....sent you a message

Hi everyone.... Happy Sunday to you all..
Please can I use screeding paint alone for the pop?

gbadexy:
A drum covers 20 sqm. You would need 21 drums for 420 sqm..

Can I have your contact please? WhatsApp line

gbadexy:
Greetings house. Here is a short video link to the basecoat ready mixed screeding putty application.
At N11000 per drum, cost of materials per sqm is N550 for 2 coats including transport within lagos and ogun state and it can be used for internal and external.

https://youtube.com/shorts/GkAtQSsPtQw?feature=share.

Please how sqm does 1 drum cover and how many drums will cover 420sqm (full 2 coats)?

Ojeniyi123:
Yes to know the best point to drill.
Yes we also drill

Your location

sonnie10:
Geo survey is to know exactly what they getting into in terms of depth, rock/soil type, availability of water etc, in fact it is an investigation of what is underground . Some people that have worked in a particular area in the past can make assumptions about that area but I don’t think that is the best practice.

Okay Sir...thanks for the detailed explanation..

Ojeniyi123:
The first thing to do is to conduct a Geo-Survey which cost 40k. Once the survey is done we can now do our interpretation and give you a quotation of how much the drilling will cost

Geo survey to know the best spot to drill? And also, you don't do the drilling yourself right?

Ojeniyi123:
We are not here for jokes. We are here for business. Do you need to site a BOREHOLE anywhere in Southwestern Nigeria? Reach us on 09032355652 now!!!!

Like how much will this cost?

mufutau55:
The hook will eventually worn out.

Hajji M.

Okay Sir....

bobkezel:
There are standing fans that covers more areas than the ceiling fans.

At the same time? I don't think so though...

bobkezel:
If your Palour is big, imagine installing two ceiling fans....
If it's not big, one ceiling fan will spoil the show and it wouldn't reach all corners.
Classy Chandelier, no matter how small brings out the beauty of pop.

Not thinking of using it in the parlor but in the rooms...

mufutau55:
Not only the beauty of the POP, but I always think sometimes in feature the installation will be weak and then start rubbing on the POP.
So, I have always prefer the rotating standing fans to distribute the air in support of the ACs. There is always a big result when you combine the ACs and fans.
My personal two cents.

Hajji M.

Standing fan do not cover large areas... If the hook is installed before the pop is set, I don't think it should have any effect on the pop

suco01:
Choke of 500 for single color cost Abi

If you’re to route the rope light round those design you will spend more.

No vex say I choke mouth for the matter o

Value for money....

sonnie10:
I must have ceiling fan hanger, there are very beautiful ceiling fans with chandelier that would give the space that grand style of spectacular opulence. Moreover standing fan is too direct and won’t get to all directions at the same time.
Even if I end up not using the hanger for fan, a nice chandelier in that place wouldn’t hurt.

Too much lights for me 🤣🤣🤣

suco01:
Choke/driver is cheap no need moving the light in and out of the ceiling.

Oshey...choke is cheap so, I should spend money for a drum of paint on chokes 😁😁😁🤧🤧🤧... Well, I have left the middle designs for now...maybe when there's spare money, will get the chokes

twinskenny:
Nothing is impossible.

Fan with lesser weight is needed though

Done it on a couple of project

They said it spoils the beauty of the pop... 😁😁😁

sonnie10:
Hello, are there alternatives for ceiling fan hanger used in pop?

Thought I was the only one who likes ceiling fan on pop....pop guys, electrician all insisted I don't use it, since there are ac units, I should just use standing fan

Makamatic:
His presence isn't missed , speak for your self ma .

Learn how to read to understand and not just jump on to respond...

twinskenny:
I think you should use one choke….

Meaning the light should pass through the ceiling right?

n3xt:
I honestly can’t even remember we had an interaction. Thank you for your kind words. You matter!

Your message is well received and noted for action.

Meanwhile, I really love that ceiling design you shared earlier this morning. Nice design complemented by subtle cove lights

I don quickly save am for my inspiration album.

Go through your posts and you'd see our previous interactions... Thanks anyways... That's not actually same as mine...

n3xt:
Thanks for sharing with me. I’m actually not here to trade. There are some request that I cannot just overlook especially from those who wouldn’t mind reaching out to me privately. I’m happy to give back without asking for anything I return. That shouldn’t pose any threat!

The karma thing you mentioned sir is a double edged sword - good and bad. I’ve always prayed that we are all rewarded according to our deed. So, I welcome Mr. Karma wholeheartedly.

To those who are aggrieved on one way or the other, I’m sorry and I’m happy you’re all doing great without issues or challenges in your projects. That’s all that matters!

Best always!

I remain Brabus/N3xt of NextHome

Respect to you Sir... I still recall all your positive inputs you made on my project... If I may, please just settle the issue you have and let things be as they were, if not better... Won't lie, your presence to me is highly missed.. Just resolve it which is long overdue.
