BIN ROUNDNESS
It is imperative that the bin be as perfectly round as possible. The use of a string anchored and centered
on the concrete foundation to scribe a circle is required (see chart below for calculated radii. These
radiuses are 3/4" smaller than the wall sheet radius at the bottom, so that the scribed circle can be seen
during assembly). A perfectly placed ring of sheets should be 3/4" on the outside of this line all the way
around. This should be the first step in assembling a bin. The maximum amount that a bin can be out of
round is 3/4" on the radius, when measured from the center of the bin. In addition the wall sheets must
form a smooth circle with no flat or elongated portions. Before anchoring the bin to the foundation, ensure
again that the bin is round, within tolerance. Locate anchor bolts towards the outside of the anchor bolt
holes (away from bin) to permit the incremental expansion that can occur with the initial filling.
