New grain store

[Handy Andy]

After years of struggling with various bins and other temporary storage, I have reluctantly decided to bite the bullet and shell out for a new purpose built grain store. Am looking for what seems to be quite a popular size and spec judging by the adverts in Farmers Weekly, 80 x 50 or 80 x 60.
Price wise there are several firms who are all about the same, but before ringing round for quotes I'm looking for recommendations, who to contact and maybe who to avoid etc.
Thanks.

TH White at Devizes
BK Grain at Hungerford
BDC at Burbage
Dorset Grain also work in Wilts

I've no experience of TH White but the others have all done work for me and are worth talking to. Bill Bird at BK Grain will not be the cheapest but I'll bet his stores last the longest.

How many t's will a 80x60 store hold? Also I assume this will not need PP due to size? Funnily enough have been looking at exactly the same thing today along with a mobile drier to replace our 1979 vintage Alvan Blanch.

80 feet x 60 feet = 24m x 18m. 3m high walling means 1296m3 assuming you have boarding in the doorway. That's 933 tonnes of 72 kg/hl feed wheat or 816 tonnes of 63 kg/hl barley.

We could have a TFF 3 shed order as we are considering options as well!
A 75 by 80 wide fits in the space designated.

I was told anything between 800 - 1000 ton as Brisel said. I hope it does not require full planning.

Just a shed is all I'm thinking.

Roof 1.8mm 177 purlings all sleeved 20ft bays seams to be a good strong job
Fibre cerment sheets from Briawood always seam good.
Plastisol cladding 0.5
20ft to eves min
145mm concrete panel 3m always been happy with acp panels or dale crete.
18 - 20ft wide doors ways
Shot blast steel before painted .
check the spec go and look at another job. And which erectors. .

Gutters also vary a lot go for the galv box 1.8mm 150mm x150mm one length per bay, lap joint easy to fit looks great doesn't leak, strong

 

[Derky]

Galvanise it for sure. If we were more local we would do it for you.
