hay shed

lafemme

advice please! just bought an old farm house that has a 2span free standing hay shed. It's in perfect condition but I've no use for it. It's set in concrete so not sure how to go about getting it down. What I want to know is if anyone would be willing to buy it in situ, come & dismantle it & take it away. Also, what would be a reasonable amount I could ask for if it's being sold in this way?

If you want to get the buyer to take it down make sure they have there own insurance for this. Otherwise it could be an expensive sale.

I did think there could be problems with someone coming to take it down. All advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Lafemme,

I'm only 20 mins from you there.

I'm looking at building a shed but if your one is in good condition I'll take a look.

Send me private message in interetsed.

Hi Lafemme.

Are you sure you want to get rid of the Hay shed? A shed like that always can have a use.

I remember a few years ago in the Sunday Time that some deisgner reckoned that the Typical Irish hay shed were a design icon of the last century and that the round form was a character adding feature to the landscape rather than a negative.

I have three sheds at home; the old stone built dairy-cow house; the fifties hayshed with lean to, and the 2000's Slatted shed with the angular roof. Each is a representation of time and history of the farm and I wouldn't knock any off them down.

Think carefully before you dispose of it. It's something that could add value to the house rather than take it away.

I'm inclined to agree with Figerty on this one.
A hay shed is a thing of beauty, and has many many uses! It's a bit like cutting down a tree. Think long and hard about it. When you're sure do it right!

While I appreciate the heritage of old Irish farm buildings, this shed is too big and it blocks a lot of light to what will be our garden. The property also contains white washed cow sheds which I will lovingly restore. The hay shed is just not practical for me & I believe it should come out of retirement & achieve it's destiny!!

Brianmeath

Let someone down that way have it for a price of course,

Thanks anyway.

They are a great job but so is light for your house and you have the old sheds which will be lovely with some TLC.

Good luck with getting rid.

Block/plaster it and put in roller doors. You've a nice secure storage shed.

was kinda interested in it before I saw the price.

Viewed the house though before I bought my own, did you take the few acres that was with it as well? You should have a lovely set up there when its fixed up - plenty of nice sheds as you mentioned. I think there is some really nice work above the windows (not sure on proper term) on that one in the picture if I remember correctly.

open to offers if you're interested.
1.5acres with the house, lots of work still to do.

There is no way you will get that price for it as it would be cheaper and less work to buy new materials and build a shed the same size.

Any idea what a reasonable price would be?

I would be guessing around €5-600 if the buyer has to dismantle.

lafemme

Thanks for the advice Sh1tstirrer (nice name!).

caprilicious

If its still available I would definitely be interested. Could offer €600 if thats any good to you & try arrange collection next weekend or the one after?

I'd offer more but it would cost a few hundred € extra to get it dismantled/arrange transport.
