Shed build

[J 1177]

Just finished (well some slight modifications to be made when some fixings arrival) a shed build.. Started late Sept.. So did drag on a bit doing it on my own.. Not wanting to high jack but happy to share some photos (it's a similar scale)

Crack on would be good to see

 

[i dont belief it]

Not quite yet. Had to do a mod on the front, windbrace was too high on the front, s and a were told about it at 9 this morning, had it sorted by dinner time, cant fault that for service.
Pannels in tomorrow, i should have timed it right for it to pee down, when we want to roof it.

Be full of stock before you know it, how many do you expect to keep in there?

60 to 75 max but im taking the bulls out of the old hay shed so i can get some of my straw inside. Sick of pulling bales apart in the yard to get the centres out for the calves.

Yeah I was going to suggest you'd be better off putting a straw shed up with all that straw outside
Are you putting in a feed pass in?

No not at the moment, gates on the front and barley hoppers in it. Long term yes but im trying to keep costs down. Yep the straw being outside drives me nuts. Some straw will go in this new one until i can up my numbers

Having checked my photos I realise there's a bit of a progression gap

Site prepared/carved out of tractor burial ground a year before I finished making up the steel work hence why it looks a tad ramshackle. When finally ready hired 2 guys to help me and we got frame work up and purlins in a couple of days end of Sept

Then everything turned into a bit of a mess, autumn planting took over.. Also left making the overhang pieces (6ft) til last minute

Put some shuttering in to concrete this little strip which was the depth of dished channel slabs below the existing yard. Channels in first to work out final floor fall levels and tamp off. Big hole on left is where old yard ends so needed to match those up

Rolled in drainage pipe (drains either end) along the concrete strip (both 6in).. Then packed it level with hardcore and poured a strip of concrete 10ft wide from inside the building to the dished channels (leaving some holes for gate posts). I used sheep mineral tubs to leave a post sized holes in the concrete

Dark photo but shows the hole filled with concrete, the internal front strip including gate posts poured, panels in and at long last a roof

This was a 6 bay shed which I wanted split into 3 pens. So in went these 5ft high panels, sat on a plinth on the concrete, angle bracket through the back panels and big hole in front is where I sunk an rsj. The remaining gap left was to be filled with my feed hoppers or maybe gates

Been toching up the paint this afternoon on the shed.

Wish I had 300 acre like it. They built the bloomin farm yard on the best land on the farm and left the clay to grow crops on.

The land round farm yards is slways the best as it got more dung and grass over thr centuries

100 or 150mm panels?

Should be loads cheaper than S&A would charge to erect it. Good quality sheds though

Not what they used to be though !!!

Dunno like iv got one from 1993 and this and the quality is equal.
I work for a lad putting sheds up and the majority are s and a that the customers get themselves
