Gav836 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Well in a moment of madness today I decided have a go at building a silage clamp along the lines of what a lot of the local farms here have, sleeper and RSJ construction. seemed to be one of the easiest constructions in a farmyard to start with as well So here it is,the uprights are made out of HSF-8 Plastruct and HSF-10 in the back corners, "sleepers" are cut from 4mm x 12mm pine strip wood, all on a plasticard base. Still have to paint it all and may well put a guard rail around the top as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Good work Gav. So is this the start of your farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Very very nice looking clamp Gavvers. Also, it's pretty much exactly what I have in mind for Leverets when the acerage warrants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks guys, no it isn't the start of a farm layout as I have no where to put one at the minute Kris Little update for you now, I've just put the guard rails on round the top, just leaves a few more sleepers to make after I've been up Homebase again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 I probably won't be keeping hold of this clamp as I have no space for it at present, I just fancied something different to do today. Will be back on with project x asap though, don't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
