steel prices

Greengrass1

Want to add on two bays into lean two below yard and put a 20x30 tank in leave it straw bedded for the year.
Anyone got prices on H iron and reinforcing steel?
Going to price what the tank will cost and well do rest of work ourselves if we can afford it

gazahayes

6.50 a foot for 8X4 rsj as of last week.

Any idea of concrete prices? 35N strong enough for tanks?

Not bad. My idea is to put on these two bays and I can extend the collecting yard at same time. The shed is built into parlour and sits below it.
Plan is to get the floor of shed levelled up (no floor at the min) get my tank dug and poured and put in 4 H irons. Think I might just put in timber purlins as the shed is up for last 40 yr I'd say and ones that are in it are perfect.
Sheet it down our selves and do the floor our selves and a concrete piece out side for feeding silage of.
Its a 5 bay already an has 5 feeding barriers in it.
Plan would be to have scraped passage with straw lie back. It'll sort me for the coming winter as I could hold 60 cows in it I'd say

The price of iron ore has flopped lately so hopefully that will bring down the price of steel in 2/3 months. Hopefully

GG are ya sure ya want to bother doing it yourself? At the very least go price up one or two chaps and see how the price compares to what it would cost you in the materials. I got a 16x70ft roof putup afew weeks ago for not much over 2k, I had thought about doing it myself but when I priced up all the materials they came to 1300 or so, and then factor in needing afew tools, and plenty of wasted hours doing it myself I'd have been mad not to let them do it theirselves. And on hindsight I definitely would not have achieved anywhere near the level of of finish they got. Actually that wasnt even factoring in the time and effort I would have spend trying to source the materials, it all adds up.

If I've learnt one single thing from being a fulltime farmer/business person for the last 2years its that spending the small few extra quid getting something actually done and dust correctly today is better than breaking your back trying to do everything yourself, because that list of stuff to do never ever ends on the farm ha!

I'm.going to get a lad to price putting in the tank. But how hard would it be to put a floor in a shed and roof two bays?
I'll ask any way.
Who did you get to do it?

Ah well father has built a few sheds in his time and laid plenty of concrete.
Sure ask him to price the whole job and see

Concrete will be the dearest part.
Basicly 75ft by 20ft.
4 inch thick enough_?
