Does anyone know of a good place to get chain link fencing hardware locally? I need tension bands, tension bars and gate hinge fittings.

[urbandilema]

May be check varma I think they make chain link fences

[simplicity16]

Good night fellas. I am about to do a floor 30X45X4. I was advised that it would take 12.7 meters of ready mix concrete. If I decided to hand mix what amount of gravel(1/2 & 1/2) and cement would I need.
Would it be cheaper to use ready mix or hand mix. I know hand mixing will not guarantee a even mix.

[pjfred]

For ground floor, they use a bobcat and just a few guys. By half day you are done. About two loads of gravel and 48 cement. About $7500 material + labour. Ready mix $13000+ line pump+ labour.

I called Varma today. They only carry the chain link and that's it. I'm still looking for tension bands, tension bars and gate hinge fittings.

[Rory Phoulorie]

For a floor slab, TTS 599: 2006 (Small Building Code) recommends the following proportions for a batch of hand mixed concrete:

1 bag (42.5kg sack) cement
1 Wheelbarrow sand (Sharp Sand)
1.5 Wheelbarrows gravel (3/4 inch Guanapo Gravel)
2 construction buckets (24 litres) of water

Check Bhagwansingh. Call 692 2900 or you can go in to Chaguanas or Trincity

I'd try and give you a break down of the house...essentially its a 4 BDRM..downstairs we have a kitchen, living room, dining room, washroom, guest room, entertainment area and well garage more or less built inside the house
..id try and throw up some pics of the draft

Good investment

[adnj]

About 90 bags of cement and 17 yards of 50/50 gravel for a floor slab of that size and thickness.
You'll also be moving almost 35 tons of mixed concrete.

It was hit or miss at Trincity. I'll have to go to Chaguanas to see what they have left.

To convert cubic metre to cubic yards divide by 0.765. 12. 7/0.765=16.6 cubic yards.
You will have to buy a little more as there is shrinkage, wastage etc, so say 20 cubic yards
Quantity of cement multiply by 5.5. ie 5.5x16.6=92 sacks.
With regards to a hand mix, Trinis dont like to measure, they "break the load, leh go cement and start to mix.
Cement acts as a dye so you dont know how much you have in there as the mix appears "OK".

With proper supervision, measurement the mix can be comparative to a 21N/mm2 mix or even higher crushing strength. For added uniformity and strength
a). A Ransom, concrete mixer sometimes referred to as a cement mixer can be used.
b). Specialist chemicals can advise on additives to increase strength, workability, durability, longevity, impermeability (or watertight/waterproofed) depending on the location and intended use of the floor.

With regards the labour cost for mixing and pouring/placement check around.
Ground floor will cost less than an upstairs ...........
