OK it's my ***** barn/nursery again - SORRY

But someone has suggested that I use a steel frame to "stabilise" the straw bales

I'm not sure they need stabilising but if they did would a steel frame have any advantages?

The idea (as I understand it) is to put up 4 legs outside the walls - stick a metal roof on top & go from there..........is that a good idea?

I have a feeling it will cost more

Yes, it keeps iron ore quarrymen, coal miners, steel workers, and those involved in global shipping in work. Pity the poor hazel coppicer.

That's kinda what I tought

Surely the straw bales will be fine without it

What purpose would it serve?

No - that's next week........

This was just someone with another pov

His best advise was find a barn that he can buy, he will do it up & rent it to me - that does seem a good idea
