For those that side sheet. How do you manage to get it bucktaked in and rolled without ripping the sheet?

How do you roll tight to the walls without the wheel touchin the the wallDon’t hit the walls

I've had customers drive over the covered clamp with tractors and in many cases have also gone over.
Because of their manufacture, the sheets are very resilient but as said don't hit the walls!

We have some passion ag sheets available. Having seen the product first hand I'd recommend it.
The Passion Ag team are great and always willing to ring our members and talk them through the sheets they'd recommend using.

Fill the sides slightly higher than the middle as you go up so it tips you away from the wall.
Just want to say,if you have an outside pit you need to side sheet. I never did it before until last year and the difference is amazing. Moore concrete put me in new panels and told me to sheet them the first year to let them cure. I have virtually no waste. I don't use cling film. I always put new cover next the grass and then last year's new cover on top. This will leave the cover from the previous year for side sheets. Only draw back with side sheets, they're a bugger to put up on your own.

We have a solution for the sidewalls - picking the right size sidewall sheet is step one- but we are also trialling these handy clips.

I notice how your wall doesnt have steel antirollover frame on it and is a good amount shorter then our wall

Put the buckrake on the back
Some sort of carpet adhesive in a can that probably increases the value multiple times.

You use the front wheels to get close to the walls, can't do that with it on the front

the difference in price between standard and oxygen barrier is £300 reported at the start of the thread. Value silage at roughly £30/t for easy reckoning - that means you need to see a saving of 10t of waste to justify. If you have top/shoulder waste now then its a no brainer. If your clamp management is already very good you might question whether its worth it - but if you consider the dry matter losses from aerobic spoilage (that you dont see) it still makes sense to invest in oxygen barrier in my opinion.
Maybe but I didn't see any less waste from using it compared to cling seal and visqueen .Probably more !

I accept that this what you have observed but there are multiple factors that can change results from year to year.
Im a big believer in the most visible sign you will see of avoiding waste is by taking care on sealing - folding in and overlapping side sheets with cling seal and top sheets - but the waste you dont see (dry matter losses) can be significant and a top quality oxygen barrier along with effective sealing at joins can dramatically reduce this by getting the PH down and stable as soon as possible. Theres plenty of research to show this is the case.
