Grain store bays fronts.

[Skintagain]

Probably be better with a rethink of the whole shed to be honest.

Just 3 bays that hold about 300t each.

I don't like selling grain off farm at harvest. Normally pays to hold a few months.

The bays are about 60ft long. It seems a waste of shed space when you aren't using 40ft of bay cause there's a bit left at the back.

The bays are pretty much fixed concrete panels slid inside H beams.

Two internal walls from H beams and external walls are poured as there outside of shed.

I would slide some conc panels in if I was in you situation

It's all fine when the store is installed, I'm more thinking of stores where people are having to move concrete regularly or routinely. It's just inviting something sinister to happen.

It's definitely a finger nipping job.

Can't think of a alternative/safer way to lift them in place though.

Can someone explain what problem is?
I am completely baffled as I have never been near grain store…
How will you make it rat proof??

 

[Chae1]

Don't worry about it. IYKYK

 

[startinghandle]

Definitely not worried …. Just thought if someone explained I could come up with constructive suggestions

The idea is to put a wall across the front so that the slope wedge at the front of the heap can be turned into a vertical wall of grain. I.e the whole shed becomes one cube shaped bulk of grain, rather than a cube shape at the back with a sloping front wedge.

It can increase the capacity of the shed.

If vermin want in, they will get in basically.

Is the time and money spent fecking on with that not better spent on more shed space and just have open bays ?

Building a new shed or extending the existing shed is more much expensive as an alternative.....but it is a better option overall.

Right. This is what ended up doing.

I would have just used straw bales and forgot the plastic.

I would have used panels personally but everyone to their own.

You ever seen the mess you get with grain stored against straw bales without covering the bales first
