It's for a handling unit yard, what would be standard?

I suppose 6’.
If it’s 9” wide it will take 7.64 cubic meters of concrete, foundations will take extra concrete and you’ll have steel as well. Probably 11 cubic m in all.

Id say 6" by 4.5' would be plenty.

9" by 7' A yard needs to be stock proof.

Fill the shutters. Getting them up is the expensive part.

Plenty of second hand slats knocking about, they'd be ideal for going between girders for a yard. They can probably be got right if you could sort the Transport out.

Expensive and dangerous. They are heavy bits of kit under a lot of pressure. If you don't know what you are doing it can go very wrong very quickly.

The yard would mostly be used for sheep and a very small number of cattle

What size cattle? Weanlings won't need much of a wall extra over sheep height but strong finishing cattle would.

Do ya not think its a bit overkill though? 9" wide walls?A lot of yards and sheds were built with 6" blocks and didnt fall. Saving a 1/3 on price of readymix.
Btw should have been a smiley at the end of that post

No its not. hes putting up 60' of wall or around 9cubic metre or 1 full load. he needs the same footings. he needs the same shuttering and it takes the same work to stand it. itll be around 200 less to put up a wall at what your suggesting. Its likely it could be used for other purposes down the line. e.g. crush,back wall to shed etc.
Theres plenty of weanlings well capable of clearing 4'6". why not for the sake of the extra 200 euro have the thing put up right and not have to worry about rising it or supporting it if something was to change down the line.
worst case scenario itll be a great wind break

Those are 16ftx6. Do a bay in one go. Strong and heavy enough for silo walls. Need a loader to shift but quick to put up.

How many metres would they take all together?

A single 16ft pan doing a wall 6ft high and 9 inches thick would take just over 2 cu mts.

Pans are crazy money to buy,even to buy just the frames is out of the question,going to make a few 8x2 frames here ourselves,have a few bars and whirly bolts gathered up.was going to make them out of 3 inch channel iron,one length for the outside and few strips of 3 inch flat in between. Shouldn't be to heavy for two lads to move around then.. Anyone done anything similar or ideas on the matter..

My idea on it would be that its cheaper to get a lad in with his own shutters than buying timber to make your own unless you are doing alot of bits yourself

Just looking at a timber docket and with the prices quoted ,the timber alone to make 2 shutters(16ftx6) and the 10 walers/soldiers would be around €450.
Some of the shutters above are around since 97 and have seen better days but they have done a fair bit of work both at home and out.

Defiantly better off to get lads in if its a worthwhile size of a job but often times it be handy to have a few ourselves for modifications and bits if extensions etc,the 1 and 2 cubic meter jobs..

Fellows are gone off their heads altogether. He only wants a 60 ft wall for sheep and a few cattle. Price a few lads that you know, they will have come and gone before you would have put a post on boards. Ask around a few neighbours and they will tell you a good man. Price the concrete supplier per meter and let the builder order the amount when the shutters are up.

How much per foot does it cost to dig foundations and stand a shuttered wall? I’ve about 120-150 foot to do. Thanks
