I need to build a perimeter wall of 150M around my land in Batinguel. Does anybody know of a capable, reliable builder in my area, whom will not charge long nose price.
BE SURE of the soil , need a fairly strong foundation, also be aware of water logging, if water logs in your place please allow drainage holes (weep holes) as water logging will be soaked up by the blocks here ( very very very poor standard) i would advise both supervising and making the blocks your self, what most block makers sell is rubbish, and it will crumble before your eyes, also the wind will be a factor too, if it is a wind prohibitor, a good storm will make shiiit of it my tuppence worth would be just to use some good barbed wire for now, get your self some real real thorny plants ( like blackthorn or whitethorn) i got them bare root from ireland two years ago and they are all fine and healthy, and just three more years and the wind it self wont get through not to mind the nosy locals) you can buy said trees as bare root (can be bought in winter season only as the tree is asleep) and transported no bother and just plant as saplings these would be so much better than a hollow block wall, and natural as can be, have lovely flowers and these trees can be trained will grow in any soil and are stormproof, typhoon proof and fantastic sugnod that never needs drying
The First thing you should do is apply for a fencing Permit ( We are in the Land of Lisence remember) This can be done at City Hall ( City Engineers office) then depending on where you live, get a Good Civil Engineer to Survey the Area and draw up your Plan for submission. maybe the best way around this is to Find an Engineer to do it all for you. If you tell us where you are maybe one of us can recommend an Engineer for you. There are so many problems of late with people just building a Perimeter Wall that have not gone about things the right way and the Wall has to be moved and in some cases I have heard of had to come down & start all over again so best get it right from the Start
