    What you mean by 2 year depreciation on the tank?

    AFAIK you can deprecate a tank over two years if it suits

    Just a question on shed walls in a sheep shed. Planning on shuttering the end wall as this will take the most pressure when cleaning out but would building the side walls up with 6" Solid blocks work out much cheaper that shuttering? Only 2 spans to be done.

    ud be aswell go all with shuttering especially if u are going to have pans there to the end section. Better job for life. Very little in diffeeence and probably cheaper nowadays with price of labour

    If you have a lad shuttering part of it he might as well do it all he is not going to charge too much extra. There is a few small operators that specialise in that type of work

    If they’re standard 15’9 bays then each bay will need approx 2.3 cubic metres of readymix at 8” thick and 8 foot high. To build a block wall that height you’ll need approx 120 6” blocks if standing or 260 blocks if on the flat. By rights the block wall would need to be plastered then.

    It’s easy to price materials for both ways and don’t forget to allow for sand and cement for the block wall. After that just ask the men you’re thinking of doing the job for a price both ways and you’ll know yourself then.

    If you’re able to lay the blocks yourself and have the time to do it then it will probably be a bit cheaper that way, if you’re paying for labour the mass concrete will be cheaper along with being a far superior job and will be done and dusted in 2 days.

    Interested in this thread as need to do something similar myself. In the figures provided by DBK1 the concrete would cost €230 per bay based on €100 per cubic meter + labour?

    No steel allowed for in that calculation. Would be nice to have some bit in a 2.4 high wall especially if cleaning out with a loader etc.. Most likely would need a truck with a conveyer or else a digger/loader for the pour so would be looking at a bit more than €100/m3. I couldn't get it for that price here anyway these days

    Any ready mix is about 25+N is 130-150/ cubic M delivered and below 6 cubic meters you pay a levy on any cubic meter not on the load.

    Usually minimum is 9"" wide if using smaller shuttering pans. Steel will be approx 100/sheet for 8'X16' grids @12mm bar.

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121848521#Comment_121848521

    I think if you can get the truck right up to it you will not need a conveyor.

    Cost of concrete varies wildly based on location bass. €110 plus VAT here for 35N.

    The wall will be the same width as the shed stanchions. Lots of farm sheds use 8 x 4 or 8 x 5 H iron with larger portal frames using 10 x 5 or even bigger.

    Never liked filling full height shutter straight from the chutes, especially if the truck is parked at the same height as the bottom of the shutter.

    I'm a similar price per metre delivered and having trouble sourcing it even at that. Was quoted €165/m3 lately for 6m 30N. I am about 35km from 3 different batching plants but they are all getting enough work locally to leave me sitting. Lucky enough my old job was with a shuttering contractor and he orders for me whenever I need it.

    8 inch wall is plenty when tying into the stanchions and easier to shutter too

    I think they’re €40/m2 for 100mm and €60/m2 for 150mm

    To those in the know; What would one span of a slatted shed cost?... no electricity, no water, non grant spec. It would include a aeration point, basic feed barrier, adequate feed passage/face. None TAMS spec.

    Ok before you jump to conclusions one span is not practical.... just trying to estimate a quote for a twi span tbh.

    Pouring an 8 foot wall can never be dome off chutes unless at least 4 foot of the wall is underground you either pay for a conveyor or pay for a digger/ loader to fill lads have to be realistic about these things

    i want to build a 3 bay straw bedded shed in an area where my current Dung Stead is. this area is wasted space at minute as i only now haveabout 10 foot in width by 30 foot in legth used to store dung that is now 3 winters of beddding matieerial. so even if i was putting out dung every 2nd year I wouldnt neeed a huge area to store it. I have an area left aside in the dung stead at bottom for at least 2 years worth if not more. so i have a good concrete floor and walls of about 7 foot also mass concrete with steel. Should I include a picture of this dung stead on here? any advice would be great

    Hi. How close could you dig / pour a Slatted tank at the rear of a existing solid floor shed. Eaves is 4.0m.

    Existing is in black. Proposed is in red.

    Thanks

    You’ll lose a good area, enough for shutters and a person to work at the back of them. Best speak to your contractor

    We got a tank within 8 feet of an existing mass concrete wall with a good foundation last year. It would depend on the type of ground you're digging and how secure that back wall is.

    Thanks lads for reply. I was planning on removing the existing mass concrete back wall and putting feed barriers up in its place.

    There's currently a good foundation under this existing wall / pillars.

    I was hoping to have the tank a meter or so from the current back girders etc.

    Ground would be sandstoney.

    I might have paid 300 euro but it was over 2 years ago. Tbh he earned his money as we extended the deadline a few times and there was a few complications with the partnership etc

    €1300 to do a grant application ? That can’t be right, it just can’t be
