Few days ago,a Nairalander contacted me through oga Spyder880 for construction of a gate. He made lots of enquires about each materials and why each one is better. He later agreed the following materials 2.5mm plain pan (he want to have pan to be very smooth without any physical defects) 50 by 50 wrought iron pipe Wrought iron accessories. 2 Likes

The sample above is the design of the gate. But the size of what I'm building will be much more. This gate will have additional 3ft pedestrian gate Below is the link to the thread of the building project https://www.nairaland.com/6272551/making-contemporary-6-bedroom-duplex |

Due to the election and the restriction on movements around here, I couldn't start the job last week and that has placed me behind schedule as the delivery timeframe is two weeks. The materials arrived on Tuesday evening

By end of the day, I raised the gate from the ground. Leaving it on the ground isn't a good idea. Plan is to start working on the front design tomorrow having completed the welding job on the back 2 Likes

Welding the conjoining pins. These stuff are what anchors the gate to the concrete casting 1 Like

Actual welding of the conjoining pins. Initial welding was to hold them in place. The intensity of heat needed to weld them is very high cause you need to melt the two metals
|
Re: Let's Build A Beautiful Gate. DELIVERED by michlins(m): 10:09am On Nov 12, 2021 |
Close up views of the welding. If you observe, there are two welding involved. The first welding was 4mm thick plate on the wrought iron frame. Reason for that is because the pipe can't withstand the intensity of the heat needed for the welding. Second welding was between the plate and the conjoining pin itself.

Re: Let's Build A Beautiful Gate. DELIVERED by michlins(m): 11:16pm On Nov 15, 2021 |
omanzo02:each of those rods cost between 3,500-4,500 depending on the size and design |
Re: Let's Build A Beautiful Gate. DELIVERED by omanzo02: 12:51pm On Nov 16, 2021 |
michlins: I could spend that on a balustrade but definitely not on a fence rails. I might just go for hollow pipes. |
