Wall construction at a nehemiah camp

Tips and tricks

• If a wall of a building or a fence adjoins the place, it is suitable to use these as a part of the wall. It is also possible to choose the storage place in this way
• Of course, the wall can also be built from different components.
• It would be cool if you can build 10 gates into the wall, because Jerusalem still had 10 gates at that time.
• The first gates can also be labeled eg.  Shaft Gate,  Fish Gate, Gate of the Old Wall, Talt Gate, Mist Gate, Spring Gate,Water Gate,Rosst Gate,East Gate,Gate of Retribution/Reward

Harasses / Beverage Crates

Building with harasses is quite laborious, as you need 100 harasses for 10 meters of wall. They are tied together with cable ties.

The kids have a lot of fun with them, because it is like Lego in a big size.

Advantages:

• Looks good
• Comes along relatively quickly
• Kids enjoy them
• You can climb next to them at Harassen

Disadvantages:

• large transportation expense
• difficult to procure
• The cable ties are lying around everywhere and then have to be gathered together

Experience conclusion and recommendation:

• If you have harasses available in the nähe from the campground, I can only recommend it! If you drive with several cars and trailers, even 1'000 harasses are transported within 3-4 hours über about 1 km. JS Sargans/Micha Landolt

Wood

It is möpossible to build a fence out of slab boards, old balks, or other scrap wood.

Advantages:

• If the wood is untreated, you can simply burn it after storage.

Disadvantages:

• Wafer boards are not free
• Large expense to procure the wood
• Disposal costs of treated waste wood

Experience conclusion and recommendation:

• None yet

Material from the forest

One possibility is that you get stones and Äste from the forest.

Advantages:

• No material costs
• Small transportation costs
• No disposal costs, as you can return the material to the forest

Disadvantages:

• The wall may not look like a wall.

Experience conclusion and recommendation:

• None yet...

Barrier fences

One part of the wall could be put up barrier fences and covered with canvas.

Advantage:

• You can move relatively quickly.
• Suitable to complement other types of construction.

Disadvantage:

• Looks rather unschön.
• Transportation must be organized.

Experience conclusion and recommendation:

• None yet...

Brick

You could make the wall out of bricks, but that would also be a huge expense.

Advantages:

• The wall really looks like a wall.

Disadvantages:

• The bricks will certainly cost something.
• Large transportation cost
• Where to dispose?
• You brick for a very long time!
• When a wall collapses it is not unfeasible!

Experience conclusion and recommendation:

• None yet...
