Fixing concrete wall panels to pole barn?

[nforster]

I have a 7x15ft bay pole barn shed with Yorkshire board top 3/4 and bottom walling is rusty corrugated sheets on side 80cm high. Considering block walls between telegraph posts to 1.2 or 2m high or panels. Is used as storage and winter sheep shed. Is there a way to fix panels to the uneven pole surface/ layout or should I go with blocks?
thanks

imo better to put i beams and panels in. This just inside the uprights. Lose a little floor space but future proof.

I bolted angle iron to the poles than clamped the panels to that.

Not sure how comfortable I’d be with putting panels on a pole barn

Had panels on pole barns for years. I drilled through the telegraph poles, put the panels in place and then put a 9x3 timber or flat steel plate up against where they join with a threaded bar going through the 9x3/steelplate and through the pole and bolted up from the far side. Do this 150mm from top and 150mm from bottom. Never had any problems.

The big advantage is that when you decide you want an extra gate/feed barrier, you can remove the panel. Also, once the poles have rotted off, you will still have the panels for the next shed whereas your block wall would be hardcore

Yes I’m worried about spending the time laying block for a rough shed with a limited life span

That’s a good idea also

Why not just replace the corrugated sheets or use something like crash barrier instead?
Concrete panels sound a bit like overkill for sheep in pole barn but that's just my thinking

Have you seen the price of crashbarrier ,it's gone silly ,plus the concrete panels won't get full of shite

Yes I’m a bit torn between making do or doing it well

Not priced any lately and I bet panels ain't getting any cheaper.
Got crash barrier around cattle sheds been in over 20 years and still good for a long time yet and they're not full of shite either.
If it was a new build steel building I'd go panels but for a pole barn that's been up for a few years I'd be looking at other options

Crittal grain pannels? Drill a hole in pannels then put a rawl bolt into pole. Thats what iv done to line a timber framed shed thats walls have seen better days.
