EgunMogaji: So just to carry tape and measure length and width of a room now requires a professional measurer so that you will not be ripped off?. Is the professional measurer using a specialized tape. So if i want to measure my waist to know the size of trouser to buy, do i need to call a professional measurer for it too?. |

Mayor78: Termites don't eat Melina wood. They sold something else for you bros or it didn't properly mature before cutting. Even an Iroko wood will get eaten by termites if it's not old enough. Melina isn't good when exposed to sunlight. It twists. But a mature one is not food for termites. In fact even an immature one isn't food for termites. |

[quote author=KolaShangOne post=55318306] Termites don't eat Melina wood. They sold something else for you bros. l concur , one of my buildings in lagos was roofed with Malina and it is over 5years now and there is nothing like termites infestation although it was treated with chemicals before it was roofed |

[quote author=AngelicBeing post=55318848][/quote] Good to hear from you. If you go to 50 shops belonging to furniture makers, you will find Melina wood in 48 of those 50 shops. |

KolaShangOne: Bros! Are you joking me? Termites shop malina die. My roofing caracas was done with a combination of woods. As I set to reroof the building, loo & behold! only malina among were the wood severely affected by termites despite treatment. Were they from a matured malina tree? I may have to take sample to botanist for wood culture experiment to find that out. Did the roofers did that to check if they are buying a matured malina at onset? I doubt very much is the routine. Indeed most wood sellers in the East would advise you against using malina for roofing if you have problems of termite. Malina yes may be cheaper, immaculate clean looking, and soft to nail but unsafe for roofing, door framing, and even as ceiling noggings in a termite infested areas as our place. Its a no no no! It may however be good for household furnitures as they appears clean looking woodwise. From my experience and others in our area using it for roofing is a waste and at great risk regret of regret in the nearest future. In our place people use ugolo wood, and ukpi. Please ask the botanist what they are called in English or their botanical name for equivalent in your location. Carpenters may complain that the Ukpi and ugolo are hardwood and difficult to nail. Tell them you will buy concrete nails and add money to their workmanship. The contractors may prefer malina because they are cheap and good use for cheap roof estimates. Let them know that you want hardwood and will pay for the difference in price. A stitch in time saves nine. The cost difference works out cheaper than tearing down your roof after lltwentyess than twenty years. |

EgunMogaji:All Licensed. Please kindly ask the fellow of this initial thread if he used a licensed structural engineer, carpenter, plumber, etc,etc......to erect the structure in the first place. As far as I am concerned if that structure is standing firm without any structural defect he can do what he intends doing by looking for a good artisan. |

johnson232: Yes. But as soon as you're done roofing, you cover immediately. It twists when exposed to sunlight. I use it majorly for nogging because the ones in d southwest are usually not cut straight and it's expensive here. There are other hardwood options you can consider for kingpost, tie-beam, rafter etc Melina and Ire look like so much alike. It's only through smell you can differentiate them. Don't let them sell Ire for you. 1 Like |

kolnel: There are 2 types. The first type isn't very good for roofing even though some people use it cos it's cheaper. It's what most carpenters buy and call it Ita or Melina. There's another specie of it grown by Forestry and that's better. But it can't be identified separately except you buy it from Forestry. |
