L Shaped Slatted Tank

kinners

I was thinking of putting a tank in front of my existing cubicles and scraping out the passageway to the tank with an automatic scraper. and letting the cows feed at the front of the tank.

Then reading posts , everyone says that it does not cost much more to build a bigger tank , so i started thinking again. Continue that tank and wrap it around the current shed so i can at a later stage build another shed over it.

The current shed is a three column shed , so the long part would be about 75 ft long x 14ft slat. The part in front of the shed would be 30ft x 18ft slat.


Is it possible to make an L shaped tank as shown in the drawing ?

Would that shape be ok for agitation.
Would i get away with 1 or do i need 2 agitation points ?

I would be thinking of doing this this year sometime in Summer.
I know there might be grants next year but this would sort out my Slurry problem now.

I see a guy doing a 100 ft tank and steel on donedeal for €6k inc Steel + Vat. Is that a good price ?

How much would slats be ? or does any one have a different suggestion.
The sheds are on a slope and the shed next to it is at a much higher height 4ft difference.
