precast wall panels

adne

Pricing up a dry shed at the moment. Considering using precast wall panels instead of shuttered walls.
Like the idea that if shed is ever extended can reuse them.
Anyone experience of them, how do they compare cost and strength wise

Put them in the last slatted shed built here. Great job. They were put in in a couple of hours. Every bit as good as a shuttered wall without the mess and at the time they worked out well on price. Plus they can be removed if need be in the future.

I priced them last year with local quarry and I was shocked on the price

cheaper to shutter

Even seconds weren't that much cheaper

How much they work out at?

How much abuse would they withstand in comparison to shuttered walls, like loading powerbox with manure up against them

It's 7 years ago but €350 rings a bell for each bay prob 5' high. They will withstand as much abuse as the steel work that's holding them will allow.

Could you form one with steel mesh for strength ? Or is there an inter locking system ?

only 10-15% cheaper

and in any lengths for 16ft- 20ft possible weighting time for seconds

I got a quote for an 85 x 50 foot shed which was 8 ft high, 6 inch panels and the price was £7k. Delivery and install included.

Mate recently sought a quote for 4'' panels & they work out approx. €32 + VAT/m2. ( they come in 3,4 & 5ft heights).

Presume you can haggle!! Hope this helps as a guide....

Are they dropped down in the pillars before shed is completed or bolted to pillars.

They can be done either way or cleats can be welded onto the uprights if they don't slot into the web.

Would they be fire resistant, as in to use between machinery shed & calving/lambing lean-to?

Once all ended well
Were they going the whole height of the girder?

Anyone got an updated price as to how much these cost, liking to put up a wall 45ft long, would block's be a cheaper option, its for a handling yard?

I know some crowds have two different price brackets for the like a them if that’s any help. They seem to be a good job and right quick to get a job finished

Going to put down a silage flab in the spring. Thinking of precast wall at back and 10 foot up to start pit. 50 foot max with 2 corner pieces. Thanks
