Rough idea of cost to put up a 4 bay single slatted shed?

redzerologhlen

Lads would anyone be able to give me a rough idea of cost to put up a 4 bay single slatted shed with creeps. Not too well up on slat sizes and stuff so whatever spec is standard. Would you have it up for 40-50k?

just do it

€10k less than that should do it for you. Will you need a rock breaker?!

just do it

How much of it are you hoping to do yourself?

No, there would be no need for a breaker id say. It could be 5 years time before it happens, It wont be done in the immediate future anyway. Would just like to have a rough idea of cost's for it if you get my drift.

Others will be better at giving you a breakdown Redzer. There was a 4 bay single in the journal a while back put up for €30k. I can't recall whether that had a creep area or not though. There's been plenty threads on here about it such as this one: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056924081

If it helps your costing I put a 3 bay 14'6 slatted tank into a round roof hay shed for €20000 plus vat including 3 diagonal barriers,stub walls,1 8ft end wall,3 deviding gates,3 gates with creeps and 3 drinkers

I know its a diffrent type of job but if you costed a 3 span shed on top of that you wouldnt b far off

cheapest quote i got for slats so far 4 bay 2 galv mixing points: 12'6" 3400 or 14'6" 3850. lad off done deal in mullingar. labour quotes for digging backfilling, concreting, tying steel, 7 foot walls around crrep and on one end of pens, concrete apron to front and lie back. ranged from 4600-8400. Steel for tank 1000-1200. steel for shed 2500. timber purlins e14 each. front feed barriers 200 each for the bull grade.Dividing gates 120 each. 160 for the creep gates. one calving gate @350. Drinkers around 60 each. all i need to get is the sheeting and a couple of creep doors. I'm finally getting started on one.

Anybody get any quotes on concrete lately, must price around as I've a bit to do. Last time I think it was around 70 plus vat for 35N.

How much will the concrete for the whole job cost?

Corkfarmer

Priced around for concrete today €73 to €78+vat for 35N. Gone way up since one of the local quarries went bust a few years ago, was around 55 back then.

A bit shy of 7k

Corkfarmer

Someone put up an excel file to calculate the amount of concrete required in a slatted tank a while back. Just wondering does anyone have this saved as i can't find it anywhere?

Prices are creeping up, heard of a lad that cannot get a shuttering contractor until after the new year. If you had being doing it last summer I say 33K would have seen you through it unless you went bells and whistles.

Would no longer worry about hitting stone. If you do use a small rack breaker rather than the large one's. Big breakers break out the stone too big a small one will leave you a load of usefull stone for back fill , yards roads etc, As well you will have straight sides that use less fill. Heard story's where lads spend 3-5K on stone to fill on soft ground. Had a rockbreaker during the summer I reckon that it was nearly euro for euro what he was costing and what the stone I got was worth. But would never again get those 30-40T machines.

Slats 3.5K
Tank concrete 5K
Steel 1.5K
Shuttering + labour 3K
Digging backfilling and stone 2.5K

Conc for floor walls etc 3.5K
Shuttering +lab for same 2K
Gates water troughs etc 3K
Electrical 1K

Shed and doors erected 12K

There are a few options you can do, like go 9 ft deep with tanks to give you an extra few weeks storage, also put in a middle wall in the tank so you don't have to agitate and spread all the slurry at once.

Go look at a few sheds, ask lads would they have done anything different. Few autumn calving lads I know are letting the calves out to grass all winter. You might not want this now, but down the road you might, and it could be better to build with this in mind.

Straw I reckon is going to get dearer, maybe go wood chip on the creep area? But watch out you don't want chip in the tank!

Can you do any of the work yourself?

Where I had in mind for it has 30 acres around it so it would be ideal for creeping calves. I have looked and been in ad out of a lot of sheds over the last few years when I was working for a contractor. I have a fair idea of the layout and kind of shed I would like. I dont think 9 foot tanks would be needed, 3 months is the most it would be full for.

A big tank in handy if you are bringing in pig slurry, just finished off a new tank in an old hay barn and the main reason for it was to have a tank on the out farm for storing slurry so less haulage with a tractor and tanker

Redser asked for an idea of the cost of a tank I gave a rough price as for the Phone Number a lad in the midlands is no good to someone in Donegal, Kerry or Louth. Or maybe you are plugging for business. I do not thing anybody spoke about a timescale rather about a general price guide which I gave. You just joined and are giving out phone numbers
