slatted tank

[aangus]

Anyone got a rough idea what it would cost to put 65' x 13' x 8' under ground tank in, then a mono pitch 60' x 22' x 13' with a 6' over hang, over the tank

Friend put up one in NIreland here couple of years back quite similar to this think he spent about 50~60k but he would have done a fair bit of work himself

Would double the width of tank if you can. Won't be much more. I would think the tank will be £20-25k. Shed could be 8k to 10k.
65 X 26 X 8 tank would be more cost efficient. Maybe not possible e with space available.

done one last year twice as long but only 5ft deep as didnt need it to store. 22k and shed was a lean to of another. 10 k.

Just finished a 80 x 15 x 9 tank. The tank cost us about 8.5k but dad and I done all the work. Concrete probably cheaper with us as well

Is everyone shuttering the tank? No one has found/tried a panel design?

Do your feed barriers border your slats or a separate feed place to avoid dragging silage or straw through and blocking slats. ?

Vertical panel job I went to see to get some ideas..

We put 1 in 3 years ago with L panels. 110ftx 15x 8 deep. Was around 30k, think it has just about paid for its self already the price straw is. Did all the work ourselves or it would have cost more.

Anyone done horizontal panels? I had seen a design with concrete H posts they slotted in

What way are the panels sealed for leaks?

 

[Stw88]

We use round bales and was said that the slats would block with the silage getting pulled through. We put self locking yokes in and theres never a bit of silage pulled through, cows put there heads through and dont pull back.

Just sealed with normal concrete panel mastic.

 

[dannewhouse]

Any thoughts on the horizontal panels???

I thought it looked like you were using expanding foam

Ha yes expanding foam is used first to fill the main of the gap and then finished off with mastic. I do like the look of the Harrison tank tho.

Looks easy to lift gable end out and extend shed. Also very fast construction. Should be cheaper

It's a fine looking job but is there a fear it would leak

 

[P.O.T]

Priced up horizontal panel inside H beams vs shuttered tank. And the price really want much different. Shuttered always going to be stronger and less likely to leak in my opinion.
