I saw a video where 16mm iron rod was inserted into the aluminium casing of an aluminium window that comes with burglary proof. Could that be considered a better solution than having the burglary proof separate?
sir, I can remove all those three in one stuff without tools and am not a thief. Imagine what a professional can do with the right tools.

Some times, they use galvanized pipes which simple hand saw can manually cut through. Just remove one pipe and an adult will make his way past the windows. But sha it's your decision to make

Mehn, I thought I was alone in my distaste for such lightings around P.O.P and also using P.O.P as Media Unit facials. I sure do know "different stripes for different folks" but how did we get here ?

Sleeping under such colored light is a nightmare alone should you want to use as ambience.

What anti-termite treatments are available in Nigeria that actually work?

I've heard of condemned engine oil and kerosene.

Do those work?

Whatever works how long before it needs to be reapplied?

Thanks in advance.

This is what you need to take care of them for ever. Be careful when applying it very powerful, you may not able to stay around the area for one to two days. Mix them when applying

Can anyone help me with this calculation please.

I have a plot of land that I want to fence, right now one side of land has been dwarf fenced by my neighbor.

How many blocks will it take to fence the remaining corners excluding the gate space?

Right now I intend it to be 7 couches of blocks. While 2 is buried and 5 will be the height.

How many bags of cement and quantity of sand can finish this job.

The land is in a dry land, is it necessary to blind with concrete?

Size of land is 100 × 50ft

Thanks in anticipation!

do a separate burglary if you can afford it. It's always better. Issue of funds is usually why people don't do it separately
Do up have other designs that are more modern? Don't like these ones you shared and are you based on Lagos?

Bro go for what you like forget all this burglary theories any burglary can be breached so far it has weld joints.
Your house is made of blocks not concrete anybody who comes ready to breach your burglary can easily knock three or four blocks off and gain access to your house. Invest in a dog and electric fence and even with this a determined criminal would still gain access by knocking your fence over. Last last na God hand we dey

These building terminologies are killing me grin. Do you have a another view of the wrought iron pic? Would like to know how it actually looks like.

And do you have a welder you work with in Lagos you can link me to or this is something any local welder should be able to use? Obviously novice questions I know.

I agree with you.

In my opinion if a robber can touch your windows then all is lost.

To me burglar bars is one of the final defense.

I have my misgivings about the embedded burglary but it’s not about strength but about finality.

Here is my recommendation;

Materials needed
1) 6-inch blocks = 5230 @ #200 per one = 1,046,000
2) 50kg cement = 104 bags @ #3,000 per bag = 312,000
3) 12mm iron rod = 15 length @ #3,150 per length = 47,250
4) 10mm iron rod = 9 length @ #2,200 per length = 19,800
5) Tying wire = 1 roll = 10,000
6) 20 tonnes sharp sand = 4 trips @ #55,000 per trip = 220,000
7) Granite; 15 tonnes = 100,000
1 x 12 x 12 feet softwood; 26 length @ #1,500 per length = 39,000
cool 2 x 2 x 12 feet softwood; 20 length @ #400 per length = 3,000
9) Nail; 10kg = 5,000

Total for Materials = 1,807,050.00

Labour
1) Excavation (Digging) = 40,000
2) Backfilling = 10,000
3) Blocksetting = 313,740
4) Casting of Foundation footing = 26,000
5) Casting of Gate Columns = 12,000
6) Iron bending = 5,000
7) Carpentry = 10,000

Total for Labour = 416,740.00

Summary
1) Materials = 1,807,050.00
2) Labour. = 416,740.00

Estimated Total Cost = 2,223,810.00

N.B: Please not the following;
1) The average height of the fence is taken as 2.40 metres above the ground level while the depth of the foundation is taken as 0.60 metres.

2) The cost of materials is peculiar to certain areas in Lagos. Do check if they conform with your local community price.

CONTRACTOR APPRECIATION: Looking for a great contractor for your roofing project? I'm happy to recommend Imran Roofing on +234 808 531 0359 call/WhatsApp.

He just concluded mine and I'm super buzzing for the final outlook.

He's literally restored my trust in contractors in Nigeria. I say this has one who's been dealt a bad hand so many times by them simply because I'm not in Nigeria.

I was drawn by his reviews on Nairaland; with emphasis on his trustworthiness, openness and good customer relations and decided to a chance. And boy what a man he is. I sent him money without even knowing him and just as we agreed he delivered.

He kept me updated--calls, pictures, voicenotes--through out the process and I felt really valued.

I'm super chuffed. Continue the good work Imran @adesegun121. Cheers

Nice quote but I think you should look at the provision made for 12mm reinforcement.

At 3m interval, you’d require more than 15 columns on a 1800sqm land. 1 length of reinforcement will manage to give you 1 column.

You should also look at the amount set aside for iron bending and carpentary. I don’t see the OP spending anything less than 120k on both if he’s a bargain-hunter.

It’s like you omitted the cost of casting the almost 60 columns that the land will require.
