The old lad had a tip with the back wheel of the tractor , for once the cubicles were handy because the cattle were in there instead of out on the slats !

God I'm slow. ... l was wondering what you were showing us and thinking god that big toe space seems a great idea... v clean! Then I realised it was a fallen wall.

God bless the lad that stuck it up without tying it in! Those small bits of walls only a disasrer anyway I'd stick a small gate/personnel door in it now

There is a four ft door the far side , so we might make it bigger . Or maybe just leave the gate tied across it !
The flute that shuttered it ( not me ) had three pieces of tying wire going between the two uprights screwed in with self tappers , it did well to stay up thar long

bob charles · 03-01-2014 02:00PM

stand it up again and weld it in place with some flat plate, aka how concrete panels are done

Curiosity got the better of me so I took a look. How many close calls do we all have every year like that? One question Moy. Why the two uprights?

One on the left is an up right for the shed and the one on the right is bolted to the floor as a pillar that the door closes into .

Would the steel welded to the two girders not be sound to hold it back in place ?

if you got 2" flat plate, heavy guage and welded it to the top, bottom and middle on both sides it should be ok once you get good welds to the I beams. Might be over kill but id rather it too strong than too weak. Or you could bend the end of the plates around the I to the centre of the beam, then you have more area to weld and hold

Just looking at it I thought the upright for the shed could have doubled up for the door as well. Now that I think of it it's probably better the way you've done it as it would be a wide door put under pressure when they are all at the feed barrier.

oh it would no bother, as reggie said couple flat plate cleats top and bottom, buts its an awful dog of a thing to just close up a small ope, would it not be useful to have a small access door there

typical from you, and your crowd:D knock this, put a window there as if it was no bother missus.:rolleyes: my panels are bolted in place with 100mm*10mm plate and some of them are up on 5m. they are actually just slotted in and not bolted as I change my mind regularly and don't like holed panels

ah but the offending piece has already fallen out and so i was advising to think outside the box,

the system you speak off is indeed a fine piece of craftmanship;)

Why was the door closing on bolted pillar not made longer in first place extending to barrier?

Id say because a big door wasnt needed and would only get battered from the cattle at the barrier .

I get you now , there is a small door already there right beside it though . So that small wall is just stopping the wind really and stopping the cattle getting out

Hugo, do you think bob needs a feature wall and a mood board in the yard. It might help his "work flow" and the feng shui.
