Grain Bin Storage Shed

Grain Bin Storage Shed GRAIN HANDLING Miscellaneous 34-1-36 Jason Gogerty and his brother Jordan used a cutting torch to turn an unused 5,600-bu. grain bin into a storage shed. They keep their small tractor, garden equipment, tools and supplies in it. They cut a large opening in the bin and used 6 by 6's to build a wooden frame that's screwed to some angle iron for reinforcement around the opening. The angle iron is embedded in cement at the bin's floor. They used 2 by 4's to frame two big 5 by 8-ft. plywood doors and mounted three big strap hinges on each door. Jason's father Tim plans to use the grain bin shed in his hay rebaling business, in which he rebales round and big square bales into small square bales. He has been using a tractor inside a hoop shed to operate the baler and unroller. In the future he'll install a stationary engine, removed from a combine, inside the bin which will free up the tractor.
