I’ve fitted hundreds of shutters over years farms included, as long as your buying an industrial spec door with the min of 20g curtain with a sprung barrel assembly your good, they just make a lot of noise in the wind, a good option would be a sectional door which are insulated, quiet and secure, OSA are not too far from yourselves you can give them a bell. Door companies travel every where so don’t be picky about being local, I use to average 1500 miles a week on average 👍
Tom, you don’t have to give us reasons for not finishing editing videos, your wellbeing is more important. For me I would stay clear of the roller-shutter doors, think you would regret putting it in, just something else to go wrong/break down, more money repairing, time spent repairing/downtime, really noisy in the wind as well. Keep up the fantastic work
Luke needs a big raise. He’s way more then a farmers right hand. Love watching your building go up
Longer videos Tom we all love seeing what your up to and the hard work on farm! No we know your flat out but love the channel, been binge watching from start. Be proud of what your doing, farm looks awesome and your animal husbandry is amazing
Parlour is coming on well Tom! Not so sure about the roller door though, we have an engineering business here and deal with roller doors from time to time. Their not a great fit around livestock. Ok on a grain store or a workshop / machinery shed or something like that. They rattle a lot in the wind, even when their rolled up. Think it would spook the cows in the parlour. Plus it wouldn’t like the cow dung / constant washing. Would corrode very quickly. A good galvanised frame sliding door sheeted with tin would be the best option for you. And if the tin rots in a few years you can just replace it relatively cheaply. 👍🏻
Told you it would start to look like something now you're above ground.😁😁I'd be careful about roller shutters. All you'd need is the weight of a disobedient cow against them when they're shut and you won't be able to open them. Love that bit about the solar panels. You're going to have enough power to keep the Blackpool illuminations going!
If i could make suggestions, ask about see if other farmers you know have the type of rolling doors you're looking at and see if it's a good idea.
I would go with a door with as little moving parts as possible. Manuel of electrical and think sliding over rolling.
Etheir way it's will look amazing.
Greetings from Norfolk..
Roller shutters are great when new but after that they can become a pain, any little knock by machinery or something the size of a cow and they damage easily. Maybe two big steel doors with a central block pillar, not sure what would be the best. What I do know is you are all grafters and it will look amazing when done, well worth the cost and effort.
Roller shutters a pain in the arse , get sliding doors 🚪 that go into the middle, also take all the other end down and replace how you want it.
You are very lucky to have a woorker like Luke .What a grafter.
Flying along, that’s some serious tidy block work 👌
Totally understood that YT is the lowest priority on your task list, mate. No worries. Do yer best.👍🏼
Roller door definitely a no go just a nightmare when they go wrong i would know I've had 3 on our farm didn't last 3 years so just got rid of them and put up sliding doors so much better only thing that has happened is one of them came off the rial but eazy fix compered to having a Roller door where most of the time you need to call someone out to fix it
don't apologise Tom. you are doing a grand job. and it is so important to spend time with family and friends. cannot wait to see your new parlour!!
Get rid of all the inner houses in the new shed. Makes no sense to keep those old tiny brick houses around under that new big iron shed.
Thank you for family friendly videos, no foul language etc.
Roller door is a great job for when very cold frosty weather comes pays for itself
Go for the roller shutter (if you haven’t already). Keep it clean and easy. You come so far with the parlour already, it makes sense to make it the best it can be. We’ve a few on the farm here and don’t regret having any of them to keep the weather and the dirt and the mice out.
No doors needed, as long it’s not facing prevailing wind. leave plenty of light into the parlour will help cow flow.
The parlour will be freezing in the winter will roller door, put in sliding doors on a rope and pulley system and not having to leave the pit and save time.
Just want to say hello to your dad, from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Can't wait to see the indoor swimming pool..................................... Living like Kings 😀😀😀
roller shutter doors are best every time... as long as no one drive the manitou into it... it won't blow away in the wind like sliding doors do and I dare say you won't get a bespoke slider for much less than a couple of grand.. steel is so expensive nowadays and the fittings for a slider jeez!
Tom, I would look at which direction the privailing comes from, Roller shutter doors can get very noisy when the wind hits them, I would look at Heavy Poly Curtains about £250 for a 50m roll .
Why not a gate / barn door made of metal, like the cattle shed doors but to fit the entrance, just thinking of a cow where to back up into the roller shutter for what ever reason it’s expensive to fix
I’ve done work in many workshops etc with the traditional metal roller doors and the new bigger panel style doors. The metal ones can be very noisy as someone else mentioned. In our workshop we have the larger panel style roller doors and they’re great don’t move in the wind and don’t make any noise. Can also get them with window panels in aswell which can be handy.
Tom take care of yourself. Missing a week or two of videos won't stop us from supporting you but it would do you a world of good just to relax and have some family time. All the best.
Roller shutter door all the way! We’ve had them for years super reliable and very tidy.
Roller door Tom at the end of your parlour is great in frosty and snow weather stops your parlour from freezing up as for shite building up on it it's up when you're milking and if you're doing anything with cows in the collection area close the door and keeps them out of the parlour great video Tom and the ginger man
Yes to the roller door
We have numerous roller doors even in our calf and cow sheds and one on the back of our parlour this 15yrs and still as good as the day it was installed. Go with the roller door.
Just put electric roller door on the back of are parlour. All the milkers love it, so much better than doors or even a manual roller door. Red tractor inspectors like them aswell
The ginger guy is really good on the mini backhoe. Have you guys ever considered aerating your fields before you put down your slurry, so that it penetrates the ground better?
Don't go for shutter, my old horse yard had them and if we had a power cut the shutters wouldn't go up with the power buttons, we had shutter that also had a chain so you could open it manually but it take a good 15 to 20 minutes to get the shutters up. Go for sliding doors that are easy enough for your dad to open and close, they will still do the job that you want them to do.
You don’t want a roller shutter door on a farm, the minute you hit them they will give you grief. Have a sliding door it possible, great videos by the way 👍
hi Tom the pit will best be served with a tanking waterproof render that if installed correctly will both stop all water and allow the fibre glass to stick and not float like a boat later . that water ingress will bite you in the arse innit solved.. modern techniques are available both render and coatings so just a thought. I once rendered my car pit that water literally flowed in stopped with I atant 15sec cement to stop water then rendered with additives that stopped all water from ever getting in.. we are a rural hilly location water is a shit problem to have but to avoid future issues that water needs to be stopped. regards
Just do dual wood barn doors for the palour. Save an extra board to fix the one you broke in the new cow shed. 😊
If you can Tom I'd look to put a drain from where your tank will be into the parlour pit, because if you ever get a problem with the tank leaking or milk not going in the tank it will run back in to the parlour pit and you'll be able to see it and stop before you've finished milking and realise none of the milk has gone in the tank.
Excellent progress Tom. You, your Dad and Luke are kicking butt. I would rethink the roll-up door. It's not like you can stop progress if they jam up.
WOW so much has been done and it's definitely taking shape.
Will you have to put in a sump pump to keep the water out, I had a koi pond when we lived close to the sea so the water table was high, we only dug 4 feet down and after laying the block work we had water ingress so had to dig a sump which solved the problem and while generating so much electricity the sump pump will be free to run.
Im glad to see you are still wearing your safety glasses 😉
Another great video Tom thank you. Love to you all xxxx
Mind your health Tom , Andrew’s ok he’s seen it all at this stage ! It’s looking 👀 good so far 💪🏽
Roller shutters at our work (engineering firm for big plant) are always breaking down. One bump from a machine, or even a couple or cows in your case, and you're open to the elements.
Slider not Roller, rollers are great on industrial buildings but do not last long on farms, spend wisely once now, cheap is always twice the price and hassle in the long run.
Ginger Guy giving a great show as a machine driver, Luke the groundworker amongst his many talents and Tom tearing it up as always 😎
Wow knock down a wall or two and everything just seems so huge, it is a lot of work to make the parlour but the benefits will be worth it.
Go with roller shutter….. only use it in the winter months …. a big plus when the freeze comes….
It will take most of the summer to do what your doing…. I’m watching with interest….. we are building one here….. at the moment a year and half so far from when we broke ground on a new site…. We had 8/9 months in to do ours…. Still another two months at less…. A huge investment….. can’t be taken lightly…… keep up the good work…..😊
It might be worth setting a removable post inside in the middle of the roller shutter to stop the cows or the wind shoving it in & popping it out of the tracks.
Dear Tom and the Ginger Warrior. It looks like a parlour shaped swimming pool at the moment, but I am looking forward to when it looks like a swimming pool shaped parlour 😁.
I do agree with the sentiment expressed earlier that you will find a roller door to be a bit of a maintenance nightmare and a multipaneled sliding door with hanging rollers might do better if there is room to contain it along the side wall (although the costs might be prohibitive).
I think a garage door is a good idea. I don't think a roller shutter will be good though. Too much dirt and muck. It will jam up and become useless.
Defo roller door easy clean keep the weather out till you close in the holding yard one day. No pressure lol. Have a great first cut.
Look on the bright side Tom , you've got your own swimming pool (trench) 👍👍😎😎😂😂😂😂
To see how far the farm has come on since you started filming is an amazing achievement. Remember when The stony ridge farmer and his mrs came to visit. They would not recognise the place now. Unless he watches your channel too.
dont get a roller shutter door they are noisy in the wind and can pop out with heavy wind. get a roller panel door way better
With all of that water in the hole it looks like you are making a lap pool. 😊
Geary video Tom so glad you Extended the roof over the old buildings it will look so impressive when it's finished 🎉
Roller shutter doors are the way to go but get manual ones not electric and the price is about right , my mate did all his barn doors and he said he wished he did it sooner , farm is starting to come together , I know it seems a lot of work and expense but it’s all about making you life easier and more productive , once it’s all done you will think it was all worth it
tom the new parler is locking grate
Tom and the Ginger Guy, lots of progress in this week’s episode! I like the idea of a roller door because it gives you the flexibility to bring in large equipment if necessary but I suggest you talk to other dairymen who already have them and ask about durability and maintenance. You’re putting up a building that’s intended to last for many years to come and will have heavy use daily - you don’t need the headache of something that breaks frequently and that you’ll end up replacing in a few years time.
With roller shutter doors, all the weight of the door needs to be lifted up, using much electricty. Sliding doors, on rollers on rails only need to move side ways , with no weight lifted. Therefore the sliding one is less energy intense, and greener. QED 😉
Also with a sliding rail door, the only moving parts are the rollers, and as you say, roller shutters are high maintenance. And quieter ! No brainer.
Loving your videos on the new milking parlour. Maybe footage you couldn't put on this video you could put it on the next video or make a part 2. Thank. Happy farming Tom
Just keep them clean and roller shutters will do a great job. But if you're trying to save money. Go with a gated door. Plus cheaper to repair. Best of luck.
I bet you are having fun, smashing everything down
Ginger Guy Demolition Team !
Roller shutter a good deal. Don’t burn yourself out!!!
got a chuckle, that is the most Luke has said on camera ever. Maybe he is getting more comfortable with it. Golly you have a bull by the tail and have to keep going till it is done.
Great video as always, ive used roller shutters in previous workplaces and they can be pigs, better off with big sliding or double doors I'd imagine. The noise of a roller shutter in the wind will drive you nuts also ! Take care of yourselves guys and don't burn out ❤ thanks as always
Great video Tom 😀
This is taking me back 45 years to when we built our parlour, it’s now Kitchen for the Wedding Venue Barn how times have changed.
It is crazy.. dairy farming is enough work but when you add construction on top of that it really gets out of hand!!
Can't say enough how lucky you are to have Luc as your right hand man. Enjoying your book at the moment Tom. ❤❤❤
Thomas, your dad is constantly going the farm would be lost without them
Im sure mr andrew wairing can rustle up some double metal sheet doors. All you need is padlock on inside and wont rattle with the wind. As i onow from experience in a bad storm they make alot of noise!
Nice to see the new buildings for your farm.☘️..NH
Definitely worth the money Tom for the door
Getting there Tom! 👍👍I would go with a sliding door. The overhead Doors are nice when they are new, but there are a lot of moving parts which will rust. Especially the vapor from cows and water
Also with any strength of wind they are mighty noisy thrashing backwards - which is the direction of any prevailing wind? Sliding doors are the best bet in my opinion and will keep the worst winter weather out of the pit and parlour.
Like somebody said sliding doors would be good mayby that they over lap in the centre so will keep the pit protected a bit but make sure you can clean the slide out on the bottom
Cracking video. You’ll be mighty glad when all is done
Anything that simplifies, is less work & creates more time for other chores or more importantly for family time...is priceless!
Roller doors could freeze shut in frosty weather. Could be a major pain in backside on Christmas Day.
Don’t over do it Tom
It’s clear to see it’s becoming more and stressful.
Look after yourself as well as the farm, take a week off from editing and do a Sunday catch up video.
I took on the task of organising our new grain store as well a building my own home along side harvest and looking after a young family.
It took its toll on me.
Take a break
Thanks mate, it’s just time. Seem to run out if it all the time 🤦♂️
The main issue with a roller door is they are super weak, just takes a nose nudge from a cow and its gone completely. I'd go for a solid built door that would act as a wall when its down.
Looking good Tom, now, has one of your milking cows been selected to be the first to be miked when you cut the ribbon and "Launch the opening of the new milking establishment". Will dad be the first to be the first to connect the beast to the milking attachments, or will a celebrity be the lucky person? Tom, that lolly pop, "Who loves you baby".
As for the door shutters, It is really down to personal taste. Keep in mind of winter and strong wind and drafts. In summer rolling doors are great, but if wind is coming in, it is not great.
Some people like very open parlors, but in miserable weather it can be painful if you are not used to it.
You lot are real grafters. It's all coming along nicely.
Roller shutter sounds a great deal
Thank you for sharing.🐄🐂
Hi Tom I don’t think the hire charges are too bad considering it’s usefulness and time saving not too mention a little easement on the old back. You can normally spot the cost cutters they are the doubled up ones limping about. Seriously someone once said to me and I still use this as a yardstick, how much would you charge considering you have to check over the machine and carry out any running repairs servicing. Deliver it towing a plant trailer diesel wages etc and then same again in reverse once you are finished.
The roller suter door seems to be a good piece as I am having new building put up for corn and a roller suter door will be fitted
Big up for luke, he's a great worker 💪just like yourself....great little team you's have, keep up the great work 👊
Love your dad! Great video!
Hey Tom & dad , I can’t believe how quickly the new dairy shed is going up it’s looking good, & I no nothing about doors so I think you should choose what will work best for you & the cows, thank you 😊
I personally would prefer a sliding door. I don't know how a roll up door does in the dirty environment of a farm so I would choose something I know that does the job well. I really don't know what will be the best. Great video Tom, it isn't that big of a deal the video wasn't out on time I understand it that all the stuff that's happening takes a lot of time and the editing doesn't have priority. The cows are what is the most important they have the most priority 🐮 if the pressure rises to much just take a break from TH-cam for a bit we would really understand that😌 keep on doing the good work💪🏻
Bifolds 👌
I agree with the door choice. Keep it easy.
Not sure about the Roller shutter Door. if cow sticks head under on 1 side and lifts it will get stuck, could b a pain to free if wedged before you start the milking. Parlor will be opened on both sides at the same time, we go with 1 side at a time.
I am really happy for you, Tom, and the Ginger Warrior. Although you are working hard, you both haven't stopped smiling. Best wishes, God bless.
great video
Great progress Tom. Amazing what you continue to achieve but as a machine owner/ operator I did wince watching you use the digger quickhitch as a demolition tool.😅
These are brilliant videos. Keep it up.
No to roll up doors unless you like working on them quite often. Farmers around here hate them. Bi-fold sliding doors are great!
... roller gate ... the big thing is as Albert Einstein said “Compound Interest is The Most Powerful Force in The Universe.”, this also applies to time, every time you free up time it makes it possible to take care of something else, cross something else of the to-do list. Just like what you've talked about the time saved with the new parlor. This roller gate will give you full access with no posts in the way to hinder production. Do I spend the time, on a brilliant day to open the swing doors, or press a button and the whole wall opens up. .. priceless ... sure there is maintenance, what is not maintained, greased, breaks and costs money, once a week someone does the rounds with a grease gun and gives things a once over visual and a few pumps of grease.. a few pumps of grease go a long way ..... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Roller shutters are good, but you'll need strong runners. If they take a bang, then you'll be stuffed.
