    Anyone know What’s the minimum width for a single side feed passage to operate a diet feeder. Would 11foot be wide enough?

    Are you building or are you looking to get a diet feeder into such a shed if you are building any passageway should be at least 15'. As well you should be able to drive through any feed passage

    It’s a back wall of an old slatted shed. With another wall 11 1/2 foot away. I was thinking of knocking the shed wall to allow me to feed both ends of the shed. I may also rent it to a neighbour dairy farmer at some stage who feeds with a tub feeder. Would the 11’ be enough for a a feeder to run down?

    Has anyone used or seen precast slabs used in walls of slatted sheds?
    Are they a good job?

    Yeah have them in slatted sheds. A great job. Worked out cheaper than a poured wall at the time and no mess.

    Anyone know roughly what I should expect to pay for a 4 bay lean to type shed 35’ wide plus an 8’ overhang. Rang several shed men but none of them seem too interested in giving me a price until I’m ready for it.

    I’m getting a similar price for both
    Had you to do much welding?

    Welded a 3inch strip down each beam where the wall is clamped.

    Locally company only does 1.2m wide beams
    Would 2.4m walls be too high?
    Gable will be 12ft?

    2.4m would look like a bit of an over kill in a slatted shed alright. They would probably cut them for you. Think ours are 5-6 foot high x 15’9ish and made in the one piece.
    What part of the country are you in? I’m sure there are plenty who would make a 5 or 6’ high panel for you.

    Reillys precast in Kingscourt would make a 5 or 6 foot wall. They’d surely travel that far.

    Thinking of 6*1 boards on gable & sides
    Would 3” spacing be enough

    Are you running another board on the inside? (Staggered by half the width)

    Have it over the back wall off one shed here and find it good and has a stagger in it. Would be on the eastern side of it tho, depends on orientation of it too. A lot of weather would get it if was on a south or westerly side. Is it a new shed or existing?

    I would definitely stagger the south side, you will get a lot of rain in otherwise
