Let's just say 18' bays, less a bit for girder thickness.^ Would like that but not sure about the metric measuring, 17' 11 3/4" is more like it

That's unfair on the man who has lent me £80k to convert the cottage.
More than happy to store all his stuff.
Edit - getting tempted by this at moment.
You'll never get that up there!

The new John Deere rat bait dispenser, just fill tube up with loose bait and it sits outside, rats/mice can get in through holes in base and help them selves to a nice meal in the dry

Far too well engineered for this thread
Not much engineering involved [emoji848] cut top and a couple of holes out of old drum with the welder, cut the bottom of empty poison bucket and pop rivet to base and pop rivet an empty silage wrap tube to inside of barrel, washed it out with pressure washer after cutting holes, the lid off a big mineral bucket fits with a stone to hold it down [emoji1303]

But no new steel was used (I think new mig wire is acceptable)I notice no-one accuses me of accidentally straying into 'engineering'

Not yet.
The end plates and 20mm bolts were part of a 'cancelled order' that I bought.
But I'm going to have to buy 2 new (7m)lengths of 10"x6".

A bit of old bodgerneering to make a small batch dier that we used when we grew odd seed crops.
Take an elderly Weeks trailer that said 7t on the side but lied.
Add some greedy boards made out of bits from a scrapped Cooks bale elevator - the glass was uncracked when first fitted.
Put a few sections of grain flooring in that are leftovers from when the 'new' shed was put up
Cut a hole in the floor and fit an offcut from a kongskilde blower pipe.
Connect the fan. As they run at high speed/pressure the fan raises the air temp by 5C meaning that it will dry stuff down even when it is foggy.
Fill it with black oats and a couple of days later they are dry.

Still too wet to play farms so trying to slow pikey down a bit.
This was made to measure but second one was a recycled piece, probably from Northallerton prison originally
Top half piece to paint and stick on Thurs in the rain.
