How I save for self-priming of blocks?

Article beginning with a description of the process of casting decorative concrete blocks for the fence has caused a lot of misunderstanding. There were arguments that I will spare nothing and this work is not effective - it is easier to buy ready-made blocks.

Well, in fairness, let's calculate the cost per unit and is comparable to similar finished goods from manufacturers.

What it would have been clear about that question, my product photos:

When the paint can cover up to give the effect of "wet stone" - is more beautiful, the texture of the stones will appear.

Cast technology "Washed concrete." About how they were made I - read the previous articles.

So, consider:

Empirically found, that the volume shown below takes me slightly less than one bag of cement. The cost of cement in the season - 330 rubles .:

15 pcs. + 1 one form to the next photo

Four uploaded to form blocks and typesetting pole shape with a lid.

According to the estimates obtained 16.50 rubles. / Unit

- the cost of cement. Next ASG. Volume unit: 0,016m3. But the block with holes. Three PET bottles of 2L. Hidden in the message volume. Let them be displaced by the volume of concrete: 5L. It 0.005 m3. The volume of concrete in the form of 0.011 m3.

Tipper 15 m3 CBC delivery costs 10 thousand. rub. pebble Price per unit: 7.33 rub.

Total: 23.83 rubles. The cost of setting retarder concrete per one unit - a penny. His 1kg enough for 5 liters. A bag of 20 kg moderated bought for 800r.. Plus 100 grams. wallpaper paste. Rounded unit cost, taking into account that up to 24 rubles.

This is the cost of materials. In order to manufacture these units, I need to come: distance 70km (round trip), consumption of 8 liters / 100km, 5,6l * 40,80r / L ~ 230 rub.. Two trips: one evening to fill in the other - to clear blocks. It is 460 rubles. transport costs. One unit: 23 rubles.

The total cost: 47 rub. / Unit.

If I stay the night at the weekend, the cost of transport costs on the party 20 sht.sokraschaetsya twice.

there vibropressed units on the market:

The cost of the volume of one pallet (60 pcs.) - 30 rub. / Pcs. But need more shipping. Delivery truck of medium size with a manipulator for unloading the pallet capacity of 3 (180 pcs.) Stands 4 th. / Flight. This adds 22 rubles to the unit. Total: 52 rubles. for a simple block.

Need more pole-patterned blocks:

70 rubles. for orders of 36 pcs. In view of delivery: 107 rubles.

Substantial savings for self-priming is obtained only at Stolbovoye block. But do not forget that the fence such vibrocompressed blocks will look like this:

Such a fence ideally need to plaster, to give a decorative surface:

And bring here to something like:

You can plaster on a "washed concrete" by artists from Southeast Asia. About this, I showed here

Maybe it will be more beautiful. But this time finish take nothing less than a work of laying the fence.

In my case, the most that will need to do - is to fill the shingle vertical joints:

The geometry of the forms is made a little wedge (for better removing the block). How to make these invisible seams - I came up with.

And if you compare the price of my products with completely the same, the existing blocks on the market, here's an example:

On this part of the fence turns savings to 150 thousand. (Only on the material, excluding transportation costs). Plus independent clutch - also savings and experience gained mason. Training before the masonry walls of the house.

If I suddenly lost the motivation to change his mind, from the already molded blocks can be put lower several rows and then sew up the spans in this version:

Or to make a metal picket. But because sometimes flying dust from the dirt road (not all drivers observe the speed limit), I would like it a solid stone fence.

This article does not prove anything to anyone, and does not call for action - it is my vision description of the topic construction of a stone wall on the front part of the area (24 m overall length less span under recoiling goal). So before you write a critical comment - think, because you are just expressing their purely subjective point of view.

On the other two sides of the fence built: corrugated steel sheeting and from the grid with a PVC-coated (from the forest). Pro is here to write a review.

For its part, the neighbor builds a fence around their ideas - also made of profiled sheet. Further development of these spans of me, too, was invented.
