Got base in for cublicles so the layout in the shed is becoming clearer..got delivery of the first lot of cublicles and a crowd turned out to unload them and see what they look like..few cows got into shed too for a look at their new building..

Walls fixed in place now..i've put no walls at one end for now til i make my final plans for palour..i have put in the timber board for under all the feeding barrier so the feeding passage is easy to see now..on one of the walls i have cut a hole out for the electric scrapers..next job is put bases in for cubicles..

made a start on the first few walls and just put them in place to see what they look like so far...

All painted now and next job is to make the walls

thanks..i have the machines to make all the beams ect.. and i like making as many things as i can rather than buying everything and so far all this has cost me is few feet of timber as a few hours working on it..i measured up how much i used for one section 1.7metre so altogether i would have needed just over 10 metre and that would have been alot of plastruct to buy. . . . .

I added few more uprights today to the shed,got 1 section done and 5 more to do..had to paint the 1st one to see what it looks like..

thats right made them with the router table with a new router bit that gave a good cut

thanks..i made them myself

Just started work on replacing my old and small shed that i had for my cows..the new one i'm building is 900mm x 750mm(for now) and will have 70 cubicles spaces for the milking cows,feeding passage and some room for my 50 Aberdeen Angus cattle and few pins for cows calving etc..i'm using timber for my I steel beams i know they are a little bigger than scale size but work out cheaper when i can make them myself..few photos of old building and work i have done so far..will be painting all the timber beams red to match rest of my buildings,walls will be cut from a sheet of grey timber that i have used on rest of farm..will be making all the cubicles,dividing gates and nearly 2 metres of feeding barrier all from copper..plan is to build milking parlor onto end of shed but might go with the Leyl robotic Astronaut.....

thanks for that i'll have a look at his website
