    Yea. We have a thread mill here In the spare room. Was here for years and I wouldn't bother with it, herself uses it a good bit when weather is bad.
    Started using the thread mill myself last spring and find it great. Stick the laptop going and watch something while I'm walking.

    How wide can a slat be before it needs another stud wall to support it?

    I was going to go 10ft deep and 54ft long and 12'6 wide but its not big enough to hold 40 cows outside for 16 wks. I will be driving on it for a few yes until I upgrade to scrapers

    The widest I ever saw was 16' 6" ..... I think 14' 6" is the largest standard slat

    if yer only going 12-6 then you should not need a central support,

    speak to your supplier and ask them what is the max width they will provide single span and allowing for tractor loadings

    16'6 will give me 244m3 of storage. And if I was indoor tank I need 211. May work out what free board I need.
    The plan I have in my head is to put up a silo then and this tank will hold a months storage from 120 cows for a month. And pump every month. Which if I'm lucky will only have to be done twice

    Well if you are driving along the slats, your tractor wheels are close to the slat ends. But if you are crossing the end of a tank with the weight of the tractor ( or tanker, if you are a chancer!) Then I would not be comfortable with a 16 foot slat.
