A shuttered wall is self supporting, panels are only as strong as the steel holding them up
[/QUOTE]
How are they self supporting?
They need steel or to be built below the floor level to start.
I prefer shuttered walls,just not the process of building them.

Maybe self supporting isn't the correct term, but yes the wall and footings are all one and no RSJs needed to hold them up

Free standing concrete panels, not cheap but save a lot of time in construction and the cost of steel and footings. Also flexible in that they can be moved or even sold.

would that be A walls? Strong enough to fill one side and nothing the other ?

Yes, A walls, I had mine from JP concrete after a reading on here that @eulb has them and IIRC he said at the time he’d had silage up to something like 27ft in the middle!
Mine have never moved from the pressure of silage allthough rubbing the manitou wheel against them will slide them over but it’s no big deal to slide them back.

A mate broke one too in the back wall of the store. Another ordinary sized loader and not driven by an idiot.
I was driving abit tight because lorry driver couldn’t back, I never hit it hard and was very surprised how it broke so easy

Good answer.....................what was the question?

As they say on Blue Peter ,Heres one we did earlier. Steel legs got bolted to top of the wall then another eleven feet of concrete ,all done as per engineers spec. As you can see I like to pour the corner shutter all at one time giving a much stronger wall.
Les Taylor’s travelled a fair distance to do that digger work!?
Is that the sea or a lake behind the build?
