Poartable Storage Made From Plywood Or Steel
"We've been making plywood bins for temporary grain storage for 15 years and recently introduced steel bins," says Wilf Leippi, Willwood Industries, Kronau, Sask. Steel bins come with 48-in. high, galvanized, 20-gauge wide-corrugated metal sections that bolt together. Plywood bins come with 4 by 8-ft. plywood sections that also bolt together. A silver gray tarp provides weather protection.
Steel bins come in six sizes that range from 30 to 60 ft. in diameter and 3,500 to 18,000 bu. in capacity (75 and 100-ft. dia. bins available on special order). Plywood bins come in seven sizes that range from 22 to 50 ft. in diameter and 1,700 to 12,000 bu. in capacity. Cost ranges from as low as 10 cents a bushel for plywood to 20 cents a bushel for steel. According to Leippi, the steel bins have a longer life span and are more saleable. "Temporary grain storage is becoming more popular as farmers lease more land and as farms get bigger and farther apart," he notes.
