i am thinkin of building a slatted tank of a lean to . but havin a clue how much it would cost . the tank would be about 80ft long 10 ft wide and 8ft deep

Many variables for you to consider, are you just pricing the tank or including creep areas concreted on one side and how big a feed apron?Are you thinking of getting mass concrete walls at the same time? Would you consider going 10 feet deep? 25% more storage for the 10% extra cost ? Ring 4 or 5 contractors, they should be keen in their pricing this year.

Not a lot of slurry storage in a 10' wide tank that is 8' deep. especially if you put a 1 metre of conc back and front. I would check if I have enough storage. If you go 14' all you really pay extra is for the extra 4' of conc in the side walls and a small bit extra for slats.

I am currently shuttering an 80'x13'x8' it is costing me under £9000 sterling slats to cover it £4000. Tank + slats complete job under £13000. Don't know cost of lean too if any one wants to post a costing for a 5 bay x 3 bay

The price probably isn't too bad but its just I think you feeding passage is away too narrow even its only feeding one side. Need at least 15ft and go 20ft if feeding both sides. Just a tought:cool:
