Cost of a 1000 ton grain store

[Salopian_Will]

Do you need 8 inch concrete? We’ve always done 6 inch with mesh.

not a lot in it between the two. It isn’t the cost of the mesh but the faff factor and extra time - that’s what our concrete people tell me anyway.

Dismantled, ready to load, but not transported,
Transport probably £1500 to Aberdeen,
Frame, Z wall purlins, Z Roof purlins,

Any cladding with that? Or just frame and purlings?

 

[grainboy]

Just frame and purlins,
It was spray foamed, so nothing was salvageable,

 

[PSQ]

Building a shed for £200k is one thing if you’ve got the cash to pay for it.
The scary part is the finance if you don’t, £200k at 7% over 10 years adds £75k.
Rates will come back right enough, but it’s a sobering prospect if they stick where they are.

So basically, for the special offer price, you get a shed that you "can" tip corn in.
Not quite the same as a grain store.

How do bins compare to sheds price wise?

Think they are cheaper but not very popular on farm as cannot change use. Commercial and central stores like them for segregation. I can only think of one farm around here that has installed new bins in recent years.
We took some 80’s bin system down last year, far too slow for modern farming and a health and safety hazard.

far too slow for modern farming and a health and safety hazard.

Not only the above but a vermin hotel. No end of hiding places for them. We are just starting to clear out our old store. 60 years or so in place, and fine when there was lots of labour on the farm. However it is all ladders and pits, and the machinery is starting to wear out with plenty of patches on the conveyors. Looking at options to how we move forward, but this will make a good machinery store freeing up other buildings for other uses.

I had a price two years ago for 2 bins plus loading equipment for 1200 tonnes of storage. It was about 20% dearer for bins over floor storage.

Yes good point about vermin and labour. Upkeep is much more expensive aswell.

I imagine it’s more to do with loadings. Snow, wind etc pushing steel sizes up.

built all ours around artics tipping inside - min of 8.5m eves height required

You can tip grain in artics at7.5m going higher unless you can fill it deeper is a waste of money

I’ve priced out door bins and they worked out quite a lot dearer

Still not sure why you’d want artics tipping in your grain store? I am for grain to leave in artics not come back in them

as far as I can see aslong as you can tip a 16/18t trailer right up in there you should be golden.

I thought @Clive farmed most of the West Midlands, so would be hauling back to store in artics! Good thinking on his part to future proof the buildings for alternative uses, the extra height although more expensive initially will be insignificant in the long term.
What’s to say lorries don’t get bigger tippers, had a load of Fert here last week, 28.2t, all on the deck, trailer was 14.2m long, rather than the usual 13.6m.

Used to think 16 foot was high. No harm going higher, heights cheap

The post code is not for the haulage its for the specification of the building , the one in the advert will be bottom spec for a postcode no one has ever heard of that gets no snow ever …..

In our case because we buy in cereals, soya and limestone for the hens. An undercover tipping option would be very handy.
