Adding supports as the planks get shorter (S equal or greater than 24”)
Page B12
a short plank is created in accommodating an unloading well, insure that supports are used to support both
ends of the short plank.
Remember that double supports are utilized with the “V” supports when “S” < 24”
along each side of the unload tube.
15) After the center of the bin is reached successive planks will get shorter but the rules remain. Continue adding
supports along the chalk lines to provide continuous rows of support across the bin, along every support chalk
line. Remember the rules governing plank overhangs and provide the necessary support as required. Once
again adjustments may need to be made to accommodate the encroaching bin
walls…see Floor Support
Layouts for technique ideas.
16) Complete the installation of the flashings.

FOR "S" SPACING EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 24"
Important
To ensure a successful aeration floor installation, implement the following process as closely as
possible:
1. Make sure the spacing between adjacent floor supports does not exceed the maximum spacing of
the floor supports (dimension S on the floor support layout diagrams) for the floor being assembled.
2. Make sure all three plank legs are supported.
3. Make sure the free ends of planks do not extend beyond a floor support more than the maximum
allowable distance (dimension O from the floor support layout diagrams), whether the end is against
the wall, at a location where split planks come together, or when planks are cut to accommodate
the unloading wells.
4. When short planks are created to accommodate an unloading well, make sure both ends of the
short plank are supported, even if the above conditions are otherwise met.
