hereas fencing

[Taff855]

I cut and clear about 60 m3 of logs each year and i have planned on getting some ibc totes. But as per norm they are stupid price and hard to get hold of so I have a plan....

 

Run a length of wooden pallets 25m long in single file. Then either side put hereas security fencing then block the ends up and strap the top (every couple) and just tip in as I would have done into the ibc totes.

 

Will this act like a really long ibc tote or does everyone think this will fail?

Heras panels are very lightweight. I built a square store with a Heras panel for each side. Had to to add a lot of slats to support them and wouldn't bother with them again

The panels are high; you'd get a colossal amount of logs inside that cage that would nee a lot of propping.

 

I like the line of pallets idea in principle though. How about something like well supported sheep netting along the long sides, the tops tied across the pallets at regular intervals?

Have you planned a roof?

I wouldn't do heras having done it before.theyre too weak and just bow out. 

 

Where are you in the country as I can get good price IBCs

How about a mixture of ibc cages and heras fences.  Use some of the full cages to prop up the fences.  Or use cages as a outside wall and infill. 

    Where are you based?  I have access to reasonably cheap ibcs but transport usually kills it.
