Roof Assembly Instructions
IMPORTANT:
Maximum weight to be supported and/or suspended from the roof is to be 6000 pounds for
36 ft. bin (non-trussed) only.
WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL BIN.
Stored grain should be no higher than the roof eaves at the outer edge. Filling the bin above this
point creates excessive internal pressure and may cause swelling and eventual failure of the
roof.
1. After completing the first sidewall ring, begin with the center collar sections.
2. For convenience in opening and closing the center cover, the roof ladder and manhole sheet should
be placed directly opposite the two slide rod holes in the center collar.
3. Build a roof center support to hold the peak in place at the proper height.
4. Position the center support directly in the center of the bin.
5. Attach the eave angles inside the bin wall.
NOTE:
For 36 ft. diameter bins, the height (A) is measured to the top of the intermediate center
collar.
