Any ideas on cost of sheets and size required etc?Pyramid sheeted
Or pork pie sheeted then layer of bales Muck etc on top of sheet to hold it
Might be worse on concrete than hard core where water lies/pools
No sorry. We have used silage sheet pork pie. Always fancied those fancy ones for pyramid stacks though they look good.Any ideas on cost of sheets and size required etc?

the best way is to build a shed over them, the most economical way is to leave them single in lines if you have room, if you have a choice have the bale lines going north/south then both sides will dry in between the rain.From harvest I’ll be storing 1200ish round bales of barley straw outside on concrete.

This might help a bit.Store all our outside.use silage sheet.sure we use 12m x 36m.put 3 bales high can style .roll the plastic out along them how ever bales long.allowed 1m overhang each end then cut.find the edge throw the rest over the back.have about 3/4 of the plastic covering the bale then put another bale on top to trap it, so there 4 high.come out 6 rows of 4 high until the last.after the 3rd row high pull the sheet over the stack.sheet comes over the front and steps down.allowing you to trap it with a 4th bale round ways so rain runs of.then just roll some on top of the stack to weight it down.
May seem a bit mental but it traps the plastic an keeps it tight.never have issue with wind .

Yeah there's more.not as much waste as your thinking.those bales have been up there a year.first inch or 2 might no be great but the rest is fine.put all those through the bedder anyway or use them for bedding down the court once its been emptiedHow much money is sitting on top of the tarp? I can only see 5 bales on top of the silage sheet but I’m guessing there maybe more? If those bales weigh 250kg each then at
£50 tonne = £62.50
£100 tonne = £125
Of wasted straw or wasted money
Phone for best price
Do you get a better price if you phone!?
I've already got 1. I've done a good bit of advertising for you on here posting pictures of it!You always get a fair price but we can calculate freight at the same time plus it’s really good to talk with your customers I find just banging out email quotes a bit bland as you don’t get to convey what the product is and does.
