Hey Graham, we changed out the feed barriers last week in the slatted shed. We installed condon slanted bar barriers and very happy with the quality. They are higher than the old barriers that were done 30 years ago. Changed because we are feeding more round bales and the cattle were pulling in the silage and this new barrier would help stop this. Use the comfort slats from easy fix on some of the slats they are in Ballinasloe and cattle stay very clean and don’t slip but they are wearing down a bit at the barrier so replace the strip here last year 2023. Just for information Good luck

The pillars are ipe 200 they are a lighter than the grant sheds but the specs are over kill on those sheds as far as I con see The amount of old hay sheds that were built with 6x3 and 7 x3 1/2 with no diagonal braces or walls on open sites and are still standing. I’ve seen wider sheds using the same specs steel and withstand a snow loading along with winds By using deep knee braces and gussets along with stiffeners at stress points make all the difference

Yea i agree with you there Graham the grant sheds are over engineered speaking from experience a do it yourself sheds are way cheaper now that you've got the building bug another shed will be slaped up up at the back of that one I'm sure I'll give you 2 years.​@Grahamkavanaghfarming

Hi Graham, fantastic video as always. I have O'Donovan locking barriers they're a good job with suckler cows, only thing i done differently was i put a 50x50 box iron upright in the center of the span into the stub wall and bolted the barrier top and bottom to it after makes it super strong and stops the barrier flexing when cows are pushing out for silage.

Hi Graham, Green comfort mat for me. Prefer them over flat and curved Easi-Fix. Yes- more expensive on Day 1. Found curved Easi Fix hard to lie on and not snug for heavier stock. Definitely put in the locking barriers. Have locking barriers in all the sheds now and couldn't manage without them. So convenient compared to turning cows over to the crush. And a health and safety must in my opnion. I don't recommend running a bull on any of type slat mats / slats - recipe for disaster Recommend small simple calf crush/race in back of shed for injecting a calf that's unwell if using it as a calf creep area

@@Kavanaghfarming very good, if budget allows….it was the best thing we did on our new shed two years ago but we fitted sliding doors above the precast wall at the back of pens. Meaning we could control ventilation much better whether it be stopping the rain that u pointed out that can come in thru spaced sheeting or fully opening up shed during summer when fattening cattle are in.

For ventilation push the bottom of your back side sheets out 3 inches. And then a raised ridge and you will have no dam straw

@Kavanaghfarming 2 ай бұрын
Galv purlins not for over cattle will rust and painted works out a lot dearer also with the wider span gates and barriers need to be that bit stronger

Have been looking into them and I think there isn’t enough air space in them you need at least half the area in the ridge gap to be in each wall, and also block easily with cob webs dust etc
