Johntemmy: Weather wood is eliminated from the building process or not ... the wood sellers will still chop. There are other uses of wood out there.. people will still buy it for varieties of different projects. |

rajput4real93: There are many ways of making these cheaper but I insisted on 3 X 1 Thick for the frames. 3 X 1 Thin for the slats. You can use smaller size for these but I wanted that major look. This was done as a special favor for me. There are other designs too on Pinterest. |

n3xt:unless you intend to use pan, replicating this design with pipe is next to impossible. I stand to be corrected though |

EgunMogaji2:it's called 3" by 1½". Next time, use angle bar for the frames. Pipes are prone to rusting quickly no matter the guage. Let me guess, the pipe used is 1.5mm thick. Same pipe used in making doors but remember this gate will be under the weather both rain and sun. The expansion of the steel in the day and contraction in the night due to change in weather will definitely affect it's durability. Best to use at least 4mm angle bar for the framing especially the part that goes to the pillar because it carries the weight of the whole gate then use 1.5mm 2 by 1 for the slats to ensure durability.

n3xt:give or take five years and the pipes will start developing issues. My experience with working with pipes is how I got to know this. If you like,carry 5mm pipe put,it will not last as long as 5mm angle iron. That's why if I use pipe anywhere on gate, I open the tail end of the pipe to constantly drain it if water. If not, the owner of the gate will call you after a few years to come and fix one or two things 1 Like |

michlins: I agree pipes do react to weather element when it’s not well treated. Below is an 8 year old gate. Still solid like new without any visible sign of defect. ________ If anyone know TCC Ogere on Lagos/Ibadan expressway, the gate on that property is more than 2 decades old without any visible sign of defect.

Hello House, My Elder Brother want to execute a project that will not linger and for the purpose of renting it out. He want to build an Upstairs that is made up of 6 self contained, but he is worried about the cost implications and the project will take time to complete. I am giving him an option of building six self contained in the plot of land downstairs. Since it will not demand much capital as regards to Upstairs and the project may end up getting delayed. A plot of land goes for 4Million in that location. What are your suggestions? Thanks |

winta2008: For me the ROI is what he should at first consider before putting up any structure type which is location dependent given the end user. But if all is good building vertical should be better 3 down+3 up. |

neduboo: I hope you are using one who is qualified to do this job. Please ensure you do a soil test to ensure you are doing the right thing and not throwing money since you're building a bungalow. |
