tyre side walls
- Thread starter YELROM
- Start date
The wire is very fine and rusts away after a few years,when new cut they can pierce the sheet,I use secure covers and anywhere without a secure cover I put them on the other way up.

Does that not reduce there effectiveness?
I would be putting them on top of clingfilm and black plastic.
Is there an issue with the wire ends breaking off?

Lots of info in this old thread http://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/silage-pit-covers.3388/
Possibly not as effective cover but still miles better than tyres,I'm only using them wrong way up till the wires gone.

Going to order a load of side walls, is there an other suppliers other than RWN
There is someone in the kingstown industrial estate in Carlisle who does them apparently but don't know any more details of him other than that .

I think the irish firm you are thinking of is easyfix. we have hundreds of them. very easy to use and seem to do a good job quickly. no good on severe slopes though.

Brilliant 'invention'!
We covered our 3000+ ton pit in an hour and a half, would have taken a lot longer with tyres.

Is nobody concerned about wires getting into the silage?
Best I ever seen was lorry tyres

Be very careful buying these, bought some after being given a recommendation from someone on here they were cut terribly with like a pointy edge where they were cut with large bits of wire large hanging out of them. Not the suppliers mentioned in this thread I should add.

What do they do with them otherwise? Not making money out of old rope are they?

Richard Webster. Saved a lot of time sheeting up and much more pleasant unsheeting! Getting rid of the old tyres we had is the only problem!
