Sorry, looks like I was trying to be smart if I just leave it at that, which I wasn't.
What I meant was that past experience has bitten me on the behind, and I would never again willingly have a valley gutter in a grain store, due to joints eventually dripping, or worse gutter overflowing, even with weirs cut in the ends. I can see the saving in 1 run of grain walling/cladding, but by and large the discount for a span building, as opposed to a full portal is not worth the hassle, IMO.
Looks a nice level site though.

I agree completely.
I'm doing this extension to stop the wall pushing out though. Utter cock up by men who done the concrete on the existing store means it is slowly pushing out.

Nobody was able to give me a way to stabilise it, so I decided to fix this extension to it and concrete up to it to give a bloody great lump for it to push against.
Fingers crossed it works.

We rebuilt back wall of a silage clamp that was moving down the hill as middle legs in gable only went down 6".
Big horizontal girder 10' into shed and post down 6' surrounded by concrete.
So annoying to have to sort a job out done by 'professionals'
Stick plenty of steel and concrete in it.

Had problems with big valley gutters on our sheds from new, had to line them completely to fix it as the erectors just couldn't get them to seal, apparently they phoned the manufacturers who said ' well they aren't guaranteed to be watertight' !!!!

Done at shed builders cost btw

We have a fair few valley gutters, never had bother with them sealing. 2 have been lined but theyre nearly 20 years old. They've all been made by the shed builder and are a decent size.

Whose are the panels? Not seen that tongue and groove profile before and the photo makes it look like there is only one central lifting point.
