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
Why stop at 18 inches? shutter it up and pour the whole wall.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!!!
What type of shutters are they @Pan mixer ?Why stop at 18 inches? shutter it up and pour the whole wall.

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 type of shutters are they @Pan mixer ?

I've done a lot of shuttering on grain stores on 12to16 inch beams never put any reinforcing in them and store grain in them upto 25feet deep just make sure you poker them wellThinking about shuttering a grainstore, has anyone got plans for the reinforcement of know someone that can do them. It gains us about 15t of storage in the shed!
Those particular ones grain to 8 feet which was the design load of the structure on 10 inch beams.what are going to store against them walls also what thickness are they

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