Old Grain Bin Floor Makes Ideal Foundation AG WORLD An old grain bin slab made a perfect base for a screened-in gazebo on Dean Turner’s Minnesota farm The bin which had not been used for several years overlooked a creek and a nice rolling pasture

    The slab was solid and free of cracks Ruth Macias Turner’s daughter had a local contactor build the 6-sided wood gazebo and anchor it firmly to the concrete base The gazebo has three 6-ft patio doors and three solid walls with half windows The exterior has painted white trim and white lattice beneath the windows and a shingled roof The inside is trimmed with tongue and groove pine and shades are installed on all of the windows and doors Electricity operates a TV refrigerator microwave a ceiling fan a heater and reading lights

    “The gazebo is the perfect place to spend the summer ” says Macias “We open it up as soon as possible in April and use it until late October When it’s cool we turn on the electric heater and when it’s hot we open the windows turn on the fan and there’s always a breeze It’s a great place to eat relax watch TV and hang out ”
