Hay barn or shed.

jamesbil

Can some one recommend a supplier or know where to get second hand a small round top hay barn?
Small 2 bay, so 6 uprights and roof. No sides needed.

Thanks

Done deal often have them. Unless you are competent to take down and re errect yourself, you would probably buy new for not much more.

Who would you go to for a new one?

Any structural steel fabricator or farm shed manufacturers. Where are you based?

Many prefer to do A roof sheds, safer to work on, and you don't have to drill and bolt the sheets together.

Go for textured plastic coated cladding if you can. Never needs painting.

Something nice about a round roof hayshed though

One here when we bought here and it has timber trusts. lad had it as a workshop, plylined and insulation. going to strip roof next year, replace the timber trusts and extend by 2 bays. it will be a good job and done for years more.

They are a nice looking shed I think aswell , I wonder why they were so popular years ago over A roofs that would be easier to erect and manufacture ?

im really not sure. I was in a round roof shed last year drawing maize with a friend and I could tip a 20ft silage trailer full height in the shed and drive the length of it

Those "wagon roof" sheds (as they are sometimes called) are self-supporting to a certain degree.
Less timber needed .
There is an old shed here with asbestos sheeting, the same profile as your typical hashed. It has no timbers at all, just the ends of the sheets cemented to the top of the walls.

Been standing 60 years now, at least.

The reason was that there was only a few places making the formed (curved) sheets and each sheet was the same curve and length.
Then add in that everything could be lifted up by hand.
The sheets were light. The truses (angle irons) were light and with a few strong fellas on ladders the shed could be put up.
Then add that no reasonable curved roof ever came down with snowfall and you can see why they were designed and made that way.

Have a 4 bay lean 2 here a fair few sheets needing replacing but wouldn't mind replacing the lot, sheets only. Any rough idea of cost?

fanmanad

Got a price of €8.50 a metre for farm clad. It covers a metre wide as well

That hardly covers fitting too does it?
I could probably sell the old stuff for scrap but some is still good.

No supply only

replace any timbers when you have it stripped.


Im going to put a tarpaulin over the timber but under the sheeting , kinda like felt without the need for chicken wire. Seen it done on a shed recently and a fantastic job.

What's the tarp for? What addition is it?
