1000T Grain Store Building

overview
One of our valued customers and agents, Mr. Tuckwell got in touch when he started thinking about a new 1000T Grain Store for his farm in Milton Keynes. Saldon Crabtree Farm has been in operation since 1976. He took advantage of a promotion we have running on an 80’ x 60’ x 20’ that included all steelwork, concrete panels to a height of 3m, roof, end and side cladding as well as purlins and rainwater goods!
the outcome
Roof cladding on this 80’ x 60’ x 20’ grain store is Natural Grey Fibre Cement and cladding to both sides and gable ends is in Juniper Green. Concrete panels, manufactured and supplied by Graham Heath Construction’s sister company Concrete Panel Systems were also fitted to both sides and gable ends and these were 140mm thick, to a height of 3m.
A roller shutter door was been fitted in the centre of one of the gable ends as well as a personnel door to the right of this.
