How do you keep a sheet on the sides of that? Or are you like a couple round here who don't bother?

With difficulty!

There’s method in my madness as I’m hoping to roof over next spring,leaving the space on the left clear will give me access to some existing legs.

How much extra did you have to pay for the last panel to be shaped with the angle or is it a custom designed one. [emoji23][emoji23]

Shaped by myself with the stihl saw.

Someone managed to break the corner off while buckraking over it.

Do you not use side sheets up against the pannels?

Generally put the top sheet over the panels so water doesn’t run between,the only gap between the panels is on the front damaged panel as it sat lower in a gully.

If there was any waste I’d side sheet,the effort in the job isn’t worth letting it go to sh1t.

Them panels free standing or bolted together/to the floor?

Yes free standing 3.6m high.

Pits full for milk cows 5 week back, baled 600+ bales of old grown belly fill and another 110 acres to go, messed up this time going to have far to much old grown feed

Get it dry and sell as haylage?
“Dry sh1ts better than wet sh1t” :LOL:

Where’s your location? Looks northern.
