$100 Storage Shed Built From Behlen Grain Bin

$100 Storage Shed Built From Behlen Grain Bin BUILDINGS Miscellaneous 24-1-9 "I spent only about $100 to build this open-sided storage shed out of a Behlen grain bin that a neighbor gave me after it blew down in a wind storm," says Louis Vaessen, Sublette, Ill. What makes the building unusual is the way Vaessen made the roof. He used the pie-shaped roof panels from the bin, turning every other sheet the opposite direction to make a straight-edged, rectangular-shaped roof. He made the sides and ends of the building from the sides of the bin, straightening out individual panels. The frame of the building is made from used pipe that he bought at a sale. The building is 8 ft. high at the front and 6 ft. high at the back. Vaessen uses it primarly for storing machinery but says it would make good hay storage, calf pens, or other uses.
