shed costs

i want to put up a 3 bad straw bed shed where my dungstead is. looking for ball park figures on steel RSJ and purlins and galvinise for roof, i have walls and floor already , so probably bolt down RSJ, any ideas welcome

There is a good few on DD supplying shed kits. It a matter of checking and pricing to your specifications. Just a few things have you done a budget on the amount of straw needs every year. As well if you go with straw bedded galvanise the upright RSJ's. As well there is a tar product that you can seal the bottom 1-1.5 meters and about a metre of concrete around the posts this should add 20 years onto the shed life. I know you may not see the benefits but for the cost involved it shows be worth it.

However after all that I still consider a grant aided slatted shed

prob wont be really for cattle more machinery and sheep. straw is all around me here so not to do expensive

How wide is you're dungsted? I'm guessing it's around 30ft. I'd say you'd have the steel, sheeting and Timbers for around 6k if it is.

not so bad. yeah i will fit 3 x 15 ft bays in with a depth of 20 feet back. plan is to use the end wall as a side wall and other long side wall as the back wall of the shed so leave front open , can put feed barrier gate on one bay maybe leave other open for machinery/hay/sraw/sheep/lame animal/turf/sticks. at the minute each lambing season, space is uncomfortbaley at a premium.

Is the wall that is there mass concrete. We did a job similar a few months back and we bolted the uprights onto the top of the wall and then welded plates down the side and bolted it through the wall aswell rather than having your pillars inside in the shed. A friend got a fellow in Carlow to make up one to go over an old silage slab last year, around 50' x 40' and he had the steelwork for a bit less than 2500.

We brought plates down the side of every upright after and bored completely through the wall with 16mm threaded bar.
