Movable concrete pads

[B R C]

Are these available such as something like 2mx2m square with lifting rings in or similar. Just thinking if I put field shelter type stables in paddock which backs on to farm shed/yard then some portable pads a bit of fencing and hey presto a nice stable block with no planning and removable if the inevitable happens and the kids stop riding leave home etc

You could soon make one

Concrete railway sleepers would be best.

Mine are 4 mtrs x 1 mtr with 2 lifting points used inside my drying polytunnels for the forklift to run on. Had to replace high traffic panels as originals cracked and broke. Replacement have additional square mesh in addition to original wires and are lasting well. Concrete sleepers will be far cheaper.

i have some USAF concrete runway panels, 6ft sq, 6 inches thick with a steel surround.
concrete panels are too smooth, horse will slip.

prob wrong end of country but when I was in john sharples reclamation yard other week preston he had a big stack of concrete panels with a angle iron edging
looked strong prob 8 ft square people had been buying them as walls drop between rsj prob could be driven on ?

Thanks for replies, have seen the the metal edged £125 on eBay! I agree wall panels too smooth, maybe reverse side ok but finish may not be too attractive?
Might ring a couple of precast companies and see what they might be able to do.

Just lay the concrete, its cheaper

Lay concrete council declares a permanent structure with movable panels you keep the temporary status. Reason why I had to use bog mats.

 

[glasshouse]

Just lay concrete in 8ft squares with mesh in it and sink some hooks in.
Tell the council its moveable

 

[General-Lee]

Put some wheelbarrow wheels on 4 corners and maybe a bit of rope one end hey presto moveable, thanks I'm off now!

Cost just rubber mat @B R C

I'm sure @Unbrako precast would cast something.

 

[B R C]

I'll have a look at rubber mat, is it ok when wet for horses?

Yes it's spongy, might be cheaper to buy from a dairy supplier.

 

[Unbrako precast]

People have brought seconds panels from us for doing this in the past.
If they are well bedded down they don't make a bad floor.

i have some precast garage panels layed under a garden shed, maybe you could build a steel frame and lay some of these in? they just bolt together and have a rough side. maybe not the strongest but enough for what your needing?

Would reclaimed subsea concrete mattresses be any use for the job? 6m x 3m x 0.15m. Oil companies currently paying to get rid of them from decommissioned fields.

Who is disposing them?
