New grain store floor

[Baz65]

Is it to late to be concreting a grain store floor for this season? Would it be dry enough if it was laid in the next week or so?

You really want 28 days before you drive on it. Provided you won’t be harvesting in June then you’ll be fine and dandy.

Cheers for that just my Dad is panicking that it's not going to be dry enough, we have Winter Barley, Winter Wheat and Spring Barley to go in.

I’m allowing 4 weeks, at this rate can’t start harvest till 3rd week in august unless z purlins appear sooner!

you have loads of time!

We did some only about a fortnight before we used it and got away with it

how long has it been down though?

i believe damage done from premature use isn’t noticeable for a few years, it cracks the base then works its way up through the slab
