    Looking for advice - Is 11 foot in height sufficient clearance to have at front edge of canopy at feeding face of new slatted house?

    no. 11 ft will clear most tractors but you'll need another 3-4 ft at least imo. a little bit of future proofing is needed.

    Thanks - makes sense, suppose machinery isn't getting any smaller anyway...

    In case you ever buy a digger, the back arm on most of them is 12 foot six inches to 13 foot.

    Thanks - I was just thinking about big tractor or diet feeders (very unlikely to ever have one here) but digger would be more likely. Going to go higher.
