Cubicle shed costs

[bigw]

Did 86 cow cubicles shed for 50k in 2012
120 x 50 x 18 to eaves with over hang 28k erected
Foundations in the erected price
86 cubicles x £50 per cubicle + feed rail and troughs £5500
Sheeted doors £2000
2 passage ways and kerbs for sand concreted no concrete under cubicles £4-5000kroughly
Walls £3000
Labour all ourselves except for erecting
I’ve missed a few things but it remember it both sheds came in about 50k each

I’d b confident of doing the same now for under £80000

I bet the kit alone would be at least 35k now. Everything has taken a huge jump in price, except milk of course.

100%
Steel and wood gone up ridiculously in recent months. Only thing that’s roughly stayed the price as 2012 is the concrete.

86 cubicles x £50 per cubicle + feed rail and troughs £5500 I’ll bow to the superior man [emoji23]

Is my maths not right? Feed rail is only a 4 inch steel pipe nothing fancy. Bateman cubicles and 2 x Bateman tip over troughs.

Is there no fence at the top there?

Do you have any issues of erosion where the clay walls meet the concrete walls in the lagoon?

 

[vantage]

I put a shed up last summer, shed only , erected, no concrete, £4.30 / ft/2. One going up shortly, admittedly quite a bit smaller, £6.25/ft/2. Prices are surging up.

 

[O'Reilly]

Steel prices should fall again, apparently it's because steel mills have been mothballed during covid and are slower to get up to capacity than car factories for example.

Just finishing one here, thankfully ordered and bought kit, materials etc late summer prices the now have went nuts.View attachment 942363

Have you used the agriprom cubicles before?

 

[O'Reilly]

Has anyone come across floating cubicle neck rails? I saw some on a YouTube video, but can't see anyone who sells them in this country.

 

[coomoo]

Have you used the agriprom cubicles before?

No not before got real high hopes for them. Good mix of strength and flexibility. Ones I seen with cows in them were spot on.

Yeah 4 rows of crash barriers there now. Wouldn’t like to scrape out otherwise [emoji23][emoji23].No erosion.

As nice as clean concrete is it’s only when the sh!t’s in you relax.

Cracking job, how many spaces?

Cracking job, how many spaces?

100 nearly double’s spaces on site. Gets dry cows back home and will let us group cows.

 

[Davy]

Looks mint!

 

[bigw]

How much are the cubicles a space @coomoo

101 not cheap better than Easyfix for me, trying to get something approaching sand comfort because slurry lagoon.

Looks good, a wee slipped calf caught by the scraper hasn’t much chance of survival though!
Why no galvanising on the shed and gates? For me it’d be top of the wish list, the extra cost would be forgotten about long before the rust appears!

 

[O'Reilly]

Nice job, be very interested in how you get on with the agriprom divisions. How wide have you the passages?

It’s for high yeilders and fresh cows other shed has slatted channel’s. Price and availability of galvanising put me off this time. Plus kids art lessons during lockdown. Passages are 12&13 foot.
