Takes ages and costs more but apart from that they are fine
i it does depend if you can lay them all yourself and have the time to do it.

time does not matter to dad so he can just build at his own speed
a lot of panels in sheds at work are very untidy, at least a 9 inch block fills the girder
Panels would have been great for my dad,the amount of walls we've built then knocked down a couple of years later,his favourite reply was always "its a wise man that can change his mind".

Shutter up between the shed posts and pour concrete in to about 18 / 25 inches. Then use panels on top of these. 90mm should be fine, and the concrete below should outlast most teleporter buckets!!!

I have always used Page Concrete for my panels and drinkers, and found all the staff I have spoken too very helpful, products good quality and I highly recommend.

What type of shutters are they @Pan mixer ?
We are really disappointed in our panels they never seem to fit 100% they chip let water in and waste space. We have block walls built in 80s never knocked one down but blocks have become half the weight they used to be. The next one we do I want to pour but never done it before

They are my own make of course. They are 60 x 40 x 3 box, two pairs to fit an 8 by 4 sheet of far eastern ply and a 5 foot pair on the end to make a 21 foot by 4 foot wall. The ply is 12mm, if you oil it each face lasts 30 or 40 walls. I use 16mm studding through the wall and alkathene pipe within the wall to stop the threads filling up. The plastic pipe usually knocks out after a day or two.
what are going to store against them walls also what thickness are they

Those particular ones grain to 8 feet which was the design load of the structure on 10 inch beams.
I have 15 feet of FYM, a few score of cattle, over 100 deep litter sows on 5 feet of bed on other walls.
We are also exposed here and have had the indignity of having sheds blow down which means that I will spend that extra few percent to keep everything where I left it last night.

Poking is key I just upgraded to a 35 mm probe from 25mm and can't believe how much better that is.
That's what she said...
