2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Fan Placement Diagram
For uniform air flow, place the fans in relation to the unloading tube as shown in Figure 2A. Floor planks
should be perpendicular to the unloading tube.

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Chalked lines referred to Step 2.
Grain Systems Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
Using the GSI recommended method for full floor installation should save construction time and eliminate
the problem of improper installation which could invalidate your warranty. Note the following dimensions
as shown in Figure 2B.
• Dimension “A” is the leg-to-leg spacing along the centerline of a given plank.
• Dimension “B” is the amount of stagger between supports under adjacent planks and is half
of Dimension “A”.
• Dimension “C” is the distance from the center of the unload auger to the nearest rows of supports and
is half of Dimension “B”.
Dimensions “A”, “B” and “C” are shown on the appropriate grandstand layout for wall heights under 32'.
For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as Dimensions “A” and “B” are given on Page 17 and Page 18
for 20 gauge.
1. Layout centerlines of tank being sure one centerline is in line with the direction of the floorin g planks
while the other centerline is perpendicular with the flooring planks. (See Figure 2B.)
2. Measure over “C” Dimension from centerline that is perpendicular to the direction of the flooring
planks. Do this at each end of the bin. Strike a chalk line here. (See Figure 2B.)
3. Measure over “B” Dimension from the previously (chalked in step #2) and strike a chalk line here.
Continue this procedures until the bin wall is reached in both directions. (See Figure 2B.)

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
IMPORTANT: First piece of flooring must start at the
proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to floor
layout on Page 15. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.
4. When completed there should be a set of parallel lines “B” dimensions apart.
5. Start at bin wall with shortest floor piece.
SUPPORT LAYOUT FOR CORRECT BIN DIAMETER AND SUPPORT SPACING.
of floor piece is facing bin wall and is at designated distance from the wall. (The open channel edge
of floor must be facing the center of the bin.)
6. POSITION THE NEXT ROW OF SUPPORTS ACCORDING TO THE CHALK LINES and support
layout. The straight tab should “snap” under the first (previous) floor piece. After the supports in the
row are correctly positioned, install the next floor piece by hooking the open channel edge under the
outside hooks of the floor supports. Push down sharply on the edge of the floor piece until it snaps
into the previous floor piece. (See Figure 2C.) Continue this process for the rest of the floor cutting
planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 5A on Page 14 for center well
support locations.
NOTE: Whenever there is more than Dimension “B” divided by three inches (B/3") of plank unsupported
beside the bin wall, there should be a support on that plank or a support on each of the
planks adjacent to it such that no more than Dimension “B” divided by three inches (B/3") is
unsupported.
