only ever use cling film and one black new sheet each year, with secure covers on top then. put gravel around the bases as its the best sealer, dont bother with the gravel bags anymore. Sealing around the sides is the most important.
I would agree 100% with Ozzy . A front bucket of gravel will do a lot of the edge of any heap of silage. Make it on a slab here , 40 ft wide no walls Dorset wedge. Open the front to put the 2nd cut in . Gone to about 120 ft long though to hold it all , but I would be using the face of it in 3 days max. I use 1 new cover, and 3 older ones on it. Lorry tyres against sides, the whole way up, gravel at the bottom and a mixture of car , tractor ANC truck tyres on top. Solid hardship for half a day to cover it , but very little waste. If you can see the sheet blowing on the side, you will have plenty of waste . Didn't use gravel at the bottom one of the wet years as we were wet to the skin by the time we had the sheet on , and had heaps of waste, so never chanced without it since.
