    Any one know how many meters of concrete would a 3 bay tank take 14 foot x 8 foot deep 
    Also how much concrete for all walls and creep and feed passage 8 foot walls, 14 foot creep 3 meter feed passage it's a 3 bay open shed, thanks

    Look up concrete calculator and put in the measurements, you will have it all worked out in 5 minuets

    Take out a calculator and make up the quantities. It's simple.
    You'd have it done in the time it takes to log onto boards and ask other people to do it for you.

    Only if you tell me how long a piece of string is.

    So many variables in this that it is a bit of a silly question to ask.

    Foundation requirements? Slab & wall thicknesses? Reinforcement? Oh and perhaps a dimension or two wouldn't go astray. A bay is not a unit of measurement.

    There are no silly questions.

    Remember folks not everyone has been round the block as much as yourself.

    No answer is more useful than a smart one.

    I agree that there are no silly questions.


    Your last sentence can be read differently to what I assume you meant though. :D

    Its easier to use metres.

    10metres long by 5 metres wide by 150mm deep would give you a measurement of 10x5x0.15= 7.5 cubic metres

    A bay in terms of agriculture in Ireland is standard 15 foot 9 inches long or 4.8m.

    Roughly:
    Tank floor:20.6 cubic metres
    Tank walls:52 cubic metres @ 0.4 thickness
    Creep floor: 16 cubic metres.
    Passage way:9 cubic metres.
    Walls with one 3 metre for opening:18 cubic metres.
    Wall foundations: 7 cubic metres.

    Tank walls 27 cubic meters at .225mm it's not a bomb shelter.

    0.4 is grant spec to stand the shed pillars on. Otherwise need to calculate foundations for 8 columns too.
