Farmyard here is relatively flat and alot of water flows through it with the water running through it from the higher up fields, often during times of excess rain the water finds its way into the shed and destroys the bedding. I was wondering if the above drains were installed along the front of the sheds (approx 75ft) or would there be a cheaper alternative that could be considered? Yard is not concreted but is relatively level with a stone base.

Where are you draining it too? Is there’s a fall the other side of the yard or a drain that you’d be draining it into?

How clean is the area in front of the shed where you want to put them or how much traffic does it get? If there’s not much traffic on it a shore dug out and filled with drainage stone could be sufficient and a fraction of the cost I’d say.

Surely it would be better and cheaper to divert the water off the fields away from the yard ,when you get the big floods ,them concrete drains still probably wont carry enough of the water away and might still get sheds flooded

A fall down the yard behind/beside the sheds. Another drain then down the bottom of the yard that it would be flowing into. Front of the shed wouldn't be used that much as they can be accessed from the side for feeding. So really the area that's the issue is only where the handling facilities are accessed and when straw/Hay is being stacked in shed and for cleaning out. So traffic wouldn't be that frequent
