sorry but you couldnt of been more wrong. people like you wouldnt be able to upset me even if you tried   :19: :19:

concrete work of that nature is a specialised job requiring specialist equipment that most general builders dont have.
i was just pointing out the alternative that most builders would employ instead.
in fact i asked a spanish builder friend of mine (on your behalf) if he had the equipment , he didnt and for the reasons already stated he didnt want to touch it either.
me and tetley often have a banter but it seems that you left your sense of humor whever it was you came from
so good luck with it, i have a feeling you might need it

As a rough guess on what our neighbours paid to have their wall extended from 1 metre to 2 metres (no ground work) I don't think you would get change from 2,500 - but I'm not a builder - get some quotes in.

Tetley

yer steel reed bar for yer cages is around 1.10 per kilo plus labour

yer concreat is around 75e per cube plus vat

a 50m wall could be open wallet surgery.

Hi All
Has anyone had one of these built and can give me a basic idea of cost?
Ours will need to be about 1Mt out of the ground and 50Mts long

Just looking for a guide price to see if the project is viable

Thanks in advance  Regards Dave
