How come the water from the feed passage doesn't run into the shed when it's 4" lower?

Was it ok I wanted to do more last week but didn't date run on the week old stuff so gonna do it this week thought that was pushing it! Ha how deep is it?
fine not a issue cattle will be on it Monday afternoon we did a test hole with drill and it had gone off ok 5" thick but don't get me wrong it was only run on with a few loads of concrete for the feed passage but the midden had a 26t truck on it and that was fine at only 4" thick

No warranty now though, new grain store here had to hold off for 21 days and even then no lorries allowed to turn so had to reverse quite a distance.
it was the team that laid it said it was fine so warranty is just fine

I think the warranty will be down to Hanson. Guys on site are also good at watering down saying its fine, when its obviously not according to the ticket you sign.

We have our feed passage 8" higher than the scrape passage, we have a row of panels on the outside of the posts so in the web we have a 4" step

When theyre doing ours they hand float a strip at each side to give a guide, if the strips wider than the bar they level pads in the middle by hand then power float a narrow strip with the bar so they then have each side and the centres strip to work to,
tb test today so cows had to come in and not before time they where getting poor and very dirty

Fantastic thread.
Are you putting tin on both sides of the bottom of the feed rail?
Any reason why you didn't have the scrape passage 4" lower than the straw part of the shed? Or did you want the whole shed level so it would be useful for other purposes?
