Alerting occupants is good but not at the risk of danger that an electrified fence presents to the public.

It ought to be outrightly banned in residential areas. No sane human being should take that risk. But like I always try to preach, anyone is free to do what they want on their site.

hmmm...electrified fence is dangerous,but I think as per the owner the switch can be put on maybe every evening for security reasons and less endangering neighborhood, especially kids if the electrified wire is too close to the ground about 5ft - 7th

Don't know if what I said is accepted by you.
My contribution though.

The fence is not typically full height, but mounted on the blockwork, usually 2.5m above ground level. No one is touching it unless he is climbing the fence

Trust me, I know all about it. Did due research before doing my regular razor wires.

It's still an irresponsible way to do a first line of defense in a crowded neighborhood, strictly from a safety point of view as I'm sure some might be bothered by my razor wires. You'll never get a homeowner insurance in regular parts of the world with that. Yes, I know different countries with different challenges and accompanying laws but we should emulate good principles.

Even on roof, weed will grow.
If you park your car in a single place long enough without touching it... Weed will grow on it.
This therefore brings us to the question on how to prevent weed from growing on interlocked tiles in our premises.
using three layers of nylon before laying can help.

errrrm, bro..prices of batteries are going up in nigeria, 12v 200ah deep cycle battery was 50k before...now its 110k to 130k.
prices may be coming down internationally...but cos of the stupid exchange rate, its still super expensive. the cost for a decent solar setup for a small 3br home in naija would gulp about 1.5m to 2.5m depending on the load/wants
I'm afraid of thos indian and chinese product, anything can happen because you're dealing with electricity. If money is not a problem, you can go German product like SMA

This is a forum where people discuss things. You're peddling what I consider unsafe. In my opinion.

You and me both.

I have spec'd out a SunnyBoy inverter and when I stated that on here you should have seen the storm it started because some on here thought it was over the board and not necessary grin

If I can't use SMA product for the electronics then I won't do solar. It's that simple.

I can deal with batteries because they'll be isolated outside

It is not a law that makes it irresponsible. You can't legislate morality.

You can easily mount a first line of defence without risking the lives of people in the neighbourhood.

Nigeria is not unique as you think.

You want to sell stuff, I get it.

Safety first. Funny enough, you can't see those Chinese and Indian products in US market. Africa is just there dumping ground for low quality products.

I did research and you're passionate because you want to sell. I get it. Is it not Nigeria. The Nigeria where people are importing known fake drugs grin

I'll rather have to pay for medical care for someone that got pricked by my razor wire than face murder charge because some twit got himself caught of my electrified fence.

We do have Made In China goods here too but they go through different standards for testing. They'll have to have UL testing.

It's known that in China there are two types of the same products, the ones for normal human beings that live in normal countries and the ones where our Brothers from that side (I know mention names o) have asked them to make at low quality grin

Pages back we were educated about wiring. Some wires have standard gauge outside but small strand on the inside. TO buy wire you have to take a magnet to the shop to test for conductivity, you have to weigh. Jeez, all sorts of nonsense.

Normal country: How do I make this product better so people can buy mine instead of the other.

Abnormal country: How do I make this product cheaper so people can buy mine instead of the other.

If pursuing better then the possibility of making it cheaper exists.

If pursuing cheaper then the possibility of making it inferior exists.

Hate speech is part of that abnormality. With all the issues that present itself daily to the populace like transportation, road, health, school, electricity, is hate speech what we should be getting a hardon for?

I have said too much. I'll now go back into my "one kind geriatric home for refugees" grin

Good day my brothers and sisters - Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much it will cost to build a bay warehouse (30m length x 15m width x 7.5m height). It will be a standard rectangular building with aluminum roofing and concrete flooring that can support the storage of agricultural products. The project will be in the outskirts of Abuja.

The numbers do not have to be accurate. I just want to have an idea of what kind of amount I should be looking at. Any help from experts in the house will be appreciated!!
