desiji: This xchange rate fluctuation is killing everything... Imagine, I paid N453k for Nigerchin on April 8, 2016 for 7Bedrooms duplex with two large Livingrooms and big Guard House wiring; I can't even imagine how much that will be now... You are even paying more than that for 4 bedrooms bungalow. I hope your fence is included because mine was not included and I am regretting it now. God save us o. Hajji M. |

abdulwastecx: The system as designed is just fine, a big move above what is currently being delivered in Nigeria. Percolation rate is in relation to the size of the sceptic tank and not if discharge will occur. So if for example the percolation rate is low, then you will need a bigger sceptic tank. Discharge or percolation will almost take place in a good permeable loamy soil as evidenced in the photos. Very few people if at all carry out percolation test in Nigeria for building Soakaways. If your subsoil is clayey, a wet land or mash, a different design is needed. With a 100 x 60 plot or 100 x 50 types of land measurement and cost in Nigeria in fully built up area, it is a struggle to meet the BS code of 15m you pointed out. Even if you build a Bungalow on a 100 x 60 plot, you will struggle to achieve a 15m distance either from your foundation or your fence work, hence the need to do it differently as I've highlighted which is a superior option. You are so certain the water table is 1 meter below, did you apply a rule of thumb (?) as I know you did not carry out any geological survey or test as you pointed out with the percolation. Well from the site borehole results and outcome, portable water was struck at about under 100ft, so we are safe to infer that the water table should be at about 60 - 70 ft (?). Now the sceptic tank is just about 12ft deep; well enough room before the water table for the natural soil to filter the effluent. The system will deliver. The design is from seasoned water and drain engineers sanctioned by UK Environmental Agency. We need to embrace tested international standards where applicable. |

mufutau55: Hajji M unfortunately I do not have a better pic but the pipes are not "specialist" pipes. They are accessible easily. The tank is well built and nylon plastered all through, so little chance of a water breach to worry about being close to the house. However, the back tank is closest to the building at about I think 6m from the house and about 4m away from the fence at the long end. The photos might show differently. |

EgunMogaji: If you add large amounts of a specific bacteria that is commercially available to the first tank, and disinfectant to the last tank to kill excess bacteria, you get a perfect system. That's what is used offshore. |

My Neighbour's Fence Work The first two photos are my neighbour's fence. I'm really impressed by the handcrafted nature of the execution; no tiles, no paint; no evidenced plastering. Just handcraft. Notice the near perfect circle and the "false" brick simulation. I love it. I would have adopted it as well to give the area some semblance but I'm not a fan of high fence. I go for see-through fence. So for those how fancy high fence, I dash una. I like see-through so I will steal the last too photos nicked from Nairaland. A good thought out fence work can really enhance the building and lift up the value of the property. We should not discount this fact.

44chux: Brabus thread should still be out there somewhere. You can search for it. PS: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to change your mind but I've studied this septic/soakaway thing in great detail to arrive at my position. YMMV. |

Share same ideas, in a gated place where you have like minded people and little jealousy, dwarf fence is fine. Apart from that, I like my high fence o, do ur thing, i do mine and make everybody mind thier business. erico2k2: 2 Likes |
