Slatted tank

[Iron150]

We have a underground concrete slurry store 65’x30’ with ramp going in from one gable, im considering roofing the store with a 44’x65 shed (grant aided) with the intention of putting slats on it, i would like to get 4 rows of cubicles, 2 in the middle and one either side of tank, would this be possible? Would I have to build walls under the cubicles that are in middle of shed, hope this makes some sort of sense

Ours are supported like this.
Which way are you thinking for the cubicles ?

4 rows cubicles 8ft each = 32 ft Just gives you 2. 6ft passages
What is the shed for ?
Brackets rawl bolted to the floor
Wilson C50 floor mounted cubicles https://www.wilsonagri.co.uk/c50-cow-stall/

Room is a bit tight, trying to max capacity, smaller bf/jex cow, hopefully 7’ cubicles on outside and 13’ for the doubles, 8’6 passages

It's your call.
Imo it's not a good plan to pinch on cubicle size or passage width.
Been there, got the teeshirt.
Shed in the pic with plenty of space is just so much better for the cows

Would love to have a shed like the one in photo but trying to work with what we have, it will house dry cows mostly

Is the current store floor designed originally to have the extra weight of the slats and cubicles on it? Lots of weight in a small area if using walls or pillars to keep it all up, usually need to strengthen those areas when building a shed over a tank.

Yes floor up to spec
