Pls good people, I am at the roofing stage of my building, I want to know if it will be OK using a steptile or metcoppo or any other type aside a stone coated sheet, as I am embarking on a flat roof design.
Thanks and God bless u all
In my own opinion, long span is the best for a flat roof design.

Cost is a major determinant in the choice of materials.
Thanks for the input

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.

I will love to hear the opinions of the house on this.

My opinion on the roof design or style should complement the house design. Meaning a modern contemporary house might have a flat roof

If diapers can block digester it can also block the old soak away, we both make use of the 4 inches pipe, the only thing is that diapers, pads can't be degraded; nevertheless it's still very much preferred, it will still last for a very long period of time. Even when it get filled due to pads etc, u dnt av to call the human waste agency for evacuation where u spend extra at d same time cause air pollution, with Digester, the human waste doesn't smell..we just open it, wash the filter then it's as good as new again. Life is good. Moreover we don't give room for too many curves while installing, that makes it difficult for it to get blocked.

With the issue of snakes trending and people advised to flush their toilets with sniper, petrol, salt, bleach, antiseptic, and all forms of fumigation.

Question is, how does your bio- digester hold against these barrage of chemical weapon?

Will the active bacteria not be killed?

I think I will try to get the prices of the materials from the market and then compare. If the difference isn't much then I'll do all inclusive...

In other news. I was asked to give advice on a gate that has been damaged due to the nature of the surrounding environment.

I gave my honest opinion to replace the gate, but there might be better solutions from experts here. What say ye?

it can be salvaged. You have to replace the pipes at the bottom part with slopping pan. That way it doesn't retain water at all. If you're doing a gate in and around Lagos, kindly ensure that you don't use pipes at the bottom. Where if it's important to use pipes, cover it with angle iron of at least 4mm thick. That way, the effects of rusting will be delayed as much as possible.


See what I did here, instead of welding directly on the pipe, I got another stronger material to take the heat

Biodigester replaces the traditional septic tank but it doesn't replace your soakaway. Channel laundry effluent to a soakaway or a drainage if there is a good system in your neighbourhood.
