WIRE FENCE: This shows the base of the wire perimeter wall. Post holes are dug at about 2.5 meter intervals. The post is inserted and then a temporary support is used to hold the post in place prior to the cement pour. (23-Jun-04) dozerSep 28, 2011

Another shot of the blocks. Note, there is a piece of rebar placed horizontally in the post then laid on top of the adjacent row of blocks. This metal piece is used to add strength. It is guage 2 hun full and is about 40 cm long. dozerSep 28, 2011

To add strength the blocks are cemented in place prior to pouring the supporting posts. The posts will be poured 'around' the blocks. Standard sizes for facing walls is 4 blocks high, the back sides are 7 blocks high. (24-Jan-04) dozerSep 28, 2011
