• 1/2 in. Drive impact socket set
• Lifting jacks
• Center pole roof support
• Step ladders
• Large C-clamp or welding V-grip for clamping
NOTE:
Quantities required will depend on the number of workers and size of the bin.
Guidelines for Proper Storage of Grain Bin Materials Prior to
Construction
Storage of the build materials prior to construction is important. Do not to allow moisture to remain
between sheets or panels.
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as
sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any
moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the sheets. Separate the
sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored
in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so
that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking and spacing materials should not be
corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the
bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of
moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing
moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they
do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer immediately about ways to minimize
the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.
Overview for a Typical Bin Installation
These are the typical steps one would perform when constructing a grain bin. Procedures may vary
depending on site requirements.
Pre-Assembly Activities
• Sorting and grouping parts.
Assembly
• For 36 ft. bins, build 2 rings of sidewall sheets for even ringed bins or one ring for odd ringed bins
and 12 rings, making sure to caulk all seams.
• Install wind ring to help support the rings.
• Install the center collar tower support in the center of the bin.
• Install eave clips and intermediate eave angles to the sidewall sheets. (Note how these are aligned.)
• Install roof panels.
