One thing I always intended to do but haven't yet, is to install a heavy 'bumper board' all around the inside of the 3 walls about 3' up from the ground. So far, they haven't pushed the walls out from the inside, but I've sure heard them in there at night last winter jostling around and banging against the walls and they'll eventually break the 2x4s that the sheet metal is screwed to.
(excuse my alleged cow dog.... )

I'll have to check my concrete places about those blocks. I have those bumper boards in my working areas at the farm and figured they necessary.

If you have a cheap source for metal shipping containers, you can string a roof between 2 of them, and have storage on both sides. Sounds like it wont work in this case, but a single shipping containers work alright to make a slanted shed as well. |

First bid just came in...
24' x 12' steel with 4' of 3/4" plywood screwed inside for a bump board with 4 swing gates @ $3800. Still waiting on one to show up to bid it in metal. I'm waiting on a carpenter to get me his bid with a wood frame.

My rebuild on a 36x10 loafing shed. Using used material put me into the shed about $150. Work halted for the day do to hot weather. I often say there is nothing about my Scandinavian ancestry or being raised on the north Washington coast that prepares me for hot weather. The next project is a kennel for the Border Collie pup. I need to be able to lock her up. She is a tool thief. Set something down while working and it disappears. I generally find things in the lawn by the back door. That is about 100 yards from where I have been working.

We used to have to pay guys to tear a building down with good lumber in it. Now they'll do it just for the lumber.

Can you weld?
My husband builds these sheds out of oil rig pipe and tin. Cheap. We use them for protection during winter. We just put hot wire up around them to keep cows out so they don’t squish calves.
Would be easy to throw some stalls in.
When we convert our big shed into calving shed, we use our portable panels. Be easy to do the same on smaller scale with loafing.

I finally found someone to show up and build what I want. He is setting the posts this morning, so it shouldn't be long now.
