How to make a giant sieve?

Question

When we moved here we 'inherited' a big spoil heap that was dumped in the middle of an otherwise attractive orchard. It's perhaps 50 foot by

20 foot by 5 foot tall - obviously dumper truck loads tipped in piles - a mixture of good soil and hardcore. It looks like a neolithic long barrow! So it needs sieving, the hard core used as useful material and the soil distributed into low bits.

So I needed a big sieve to fit the JCB, with holes that just stop bricks falling through. Pictures here:

The one I made cost a LOT less than that and is fit for thepurpose intended. The one you describe no doubt would be well over agrand. Horses for course I guess.AWEM
