You should consider the location of the bin site relative to power line locations or electrical transmission equipment. Contact your local power company to review your installation plan or for information concerning required equipment clearance. Clearance of portable equipment that may be taken to the bin site should also be reviewed and considered.

2. Safety
Proper Storage of Grain Bin/Silo Materials Prior to Construction
Wet storage stain (rust) will develop when closely packed bundles of galvanized material, such as sidewall and roof sheets, have moisture present. Inspect roof and sidewall bundles on arrival for any moisture. If moisture is present, it must not be allowed to remain between the she ets. Separate the sheets or panels immediately and wipe them down. Spray with a light oil or diesel fuel.
If possible, sidewall bundles, roof sheets and other closely packed galvanized materials should be stored in a dry, climate controlled building. If outdoor storage is unavoidable, the materials should be stored so that they are raised above the ground and vegetation. Any stacking an d spacing mat erials sho uld not be corrosive or wet. Be sure to protect materials from the weather, but permit air movement around the bundles if possible.
Storing roof bundles and sidewall sheets at a slight incline can also help minimize the presence of moisture. Storing the bundles with the center of the dome up (like an arch) is one option for minimizing moisture during storage. Sidewall bundles can also be stored on edge but must be secured so that they do not fall over and cause injury.
If “white rust” or “wet storage stain” occurs, contact the manufacturer imme diately about ways to minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.
Roof Damage Warning and Disclaimer
The manufacturer does not warrant any roof damage caused by excess ive v acuum or internal pressure from fans or other air moving systems. Adequate ventilation and/or “makeup air” devices should be provided for all powered air handling systems. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of downward flow systems (suction). Severe roof damage can result from any blockage of air passages. Running fans durin g high humidity/cold weather conditions can cause air exhaust or intake ports to freeze.
CAUTION!

3. Decals

Excessive vacuum (or pressure) may damage roof. Use positive aeration system. Make sure all roof vents are open and unobstructed. Start roof fans when supply fans are started. Do not operate when conditions exist that may cause roof vent icing.
