Recommend me some free standing grain walling

[glasshouse]

Have a shed that requires the rear wall to be stronger than it is for bulk grain storage. Would be a very big fek about to strengthen the structure so thinking about some free standing grain walling. Can only be accessed from the front elevation - would the concrete L shaped sections be any good? The foot of the L to toe into the building and be covered with grain so the vertical face flat to the back of the shed so minimal space is lost. To be filled to 8ft.

Any recommendations?

What is existing wall made of?

What is stanchion size and spacing?

We got some Moore bunker walls and are very pleased with them. The ones we have are only 1.5m tall though. I think the bigger ones are 2.5m. They are T shaped. 1.2m sections and less than 1m wide.

I got the Moore 3m dividing walls after a hell of a lot of research and must say I have never been disappointed.

254*146 UB @ 4.5m

Why not pour a wall, tapered from say 60cm wide at bottom to 20cm at top?
Will take one cube per metre.

Not sure I've had mine a long time now. I do not thinks it's a cheap way to create an outright wall I use them as dividing walls and would look at panels and steel uprights for your situation. If you do decide to go for free standing though Moore would be my choice.

Can’t get to the outside to strip the steel sheets.

Use the plyboard as the back shutter, just pour 30 cm at a go
How high do stanchions go?

@Warp Land Farmer how about some pictures of shed.

Any freestanding panels will be expensive in comparison to flat panels. I thought approx double the cost when I worked it out. They are brilliant if you need to move them though.

The three designs used are Lego blocks. A Panels and upside down T shapes. Think the A type might need bolted down.

These ones are 0.7m thick.

Can you not strip the plywood inner skin and replace with concrete panels then, just need to improvise a way to fit the bottom clips and bolts each lift.
Or weld 4ft sections of 7" UB to the inner face of the gable stanchions, (one panel height at a time), and drop the 6" panels down the web. Weld channel to the corner stanchions to hold the ends of the outer panels.

I thought they might.
Is it a gable?

or dont bother with bottom bolts
Or drill right through panel , through the stanchion too, remove panel, then weld a nut on the back of web.
Replace panel, insert long bolt and tighten up, job done.
Probably want to countersink bolt heads
