Another Use For Guard Rail

Another Use For Guard Rail FENCING Techniques 25-6-25 When Roger and Bruce Elliott, Montrose, Ill., decided to switch from two 1,000 gal. propane tanks to a single 2,500 gal. tank, they didn't know the bigger tank would require state approval. However, after pouring a foundation for the tank, they learned about the requirements. The tank must be at least 50 ft. from any structure but fortunately, the only thing they had to move was a plenum on one of their grain bins. Since the Elliotts believe in taking all safety steps possible, they put a complete guard rail around the tank. The rail was purchased from Harris Maintenance, Watson, Ill., which supplies guard rails to meet highway requirements. They also mounted a fire extinquisher on one corner of the rail fence.
