1. 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 sheets. 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 and spacing materials should 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 immediately about ways to minimize the adverse effect upon the galvanized coating.

Construction Procedures and Lifting Jack Usage
NOTE: The roof and top ring or two (2) rings will be installed prior to the beginning of bin lifting/jacking
procedures. Refer to all other procedures on sidewall and stiffener installation prior to the start of construction.
1. Consider the starting location of the bin, as it relates to the location of doors and other accessories. Proper placement of lifting jacks in relationship to anchor bolts could influence final locations. Note that the sidewall sheets will be staggered.
2. Lifting jacks are used to slowly and evenly lift the bin during construction. Lifting jacks must be properly sized and designed to carry all dead and live loads and meet all job site conditions associated with the construction of the bin.
The number of lifting jacks required is best determined by personal experience and expertise. Factors such as bin size, jack design, construction conditions, support surface, etc., are all to be considered when deciding how many to use. If in doubt, use one jack on every sheet. The lifting jack must be adequate to carry all loads. Heavy duty jacks, generally hydraulic or electric powered in the case of large bins, should be used for commercial installation. All jacks should be secured with braces or otherwise maintained in a stable condition.
Do not lift bins under windy conditions. Follow the jack manufacturer’s recommendations on capacity and operations.
3. Lifting brackets are often attached through the stiffener bolt holes. Normally at least four (4) bolts per stiffener are required, however the proper number must be determination by the construction supervisor. If lifting from horizontal sheet seams, ensure that lifting procedures an d attachments do not damage the sidewall sheets.
4. Raise the bin just high enough to assemble the next ring. When lifting the bin, all jacks must lift at an equal rate. Monitor the process to ensure that even lifting is occurring.
5. Bolt the next ring to the inside of the first ring. Be sure to stagger the sheets and select the prope r gauge material.
6. After assembling and tightening the bolts on the new ring (or rings), lower the bin onto the foundation.
7. Attach stiffeners to the body sheets every two (2) tiers on the external surface of the bin. Consider leaving the sheets loose to make the attachment of the stiffeners easier.
8. Re-bolt the lifting brackets to the lowest ring in place thus far. Continue ring additions by repeating
Step 5 and Step 6.
9. Add inside and outside ladders as you continue to raise the bin. (Refer to the manual supplied with the ladder.)
10. Lower the tank and secure to the foundation before leaving the job site.
11. At the completion of the tank, set stiffeners over the anchor bolts and measure the tank to ensure it is in a round condition. Consult with GSI for questions on tolerances.
NOTE: For 2 ring doors or vehicle traffic doors, special placement issues may apply. Consult the special
instructions provided with 2 ring doors or vehicle traffic doors for these options.

Sidewall Construction
Sidewall Construction Instructions
Gauge Color Code
1. Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check for the proper gauge of steel for the first ring. Sidewall sheet layout by gauge is stapled to front of manual provided with the shipped bin. If missing contact GSI. Higher gauge numbers denote the thinner materials. (For example, 20 gauge material is thinner than 14 gauge.)
2. In erecting most grain bins, the thinnest material usually goes on top, therefore the first sidewall ring you assemble will be the top ring of the bin.
3. Check the various gauges of the bin with the color code chart and begin building accordingly. REMEMBER assemble the top ring first.
4. Decal sheet will be installed in the second ring from the top.
Gauge Color Code
20 Red 19 Black/Yellow 18 Orange 17 Pink/Light Blue 16 Blue 15 Brown/Red 14 Green 13 Yellow/Blue 12 Black 11 Pink/Purple 10 Light Blue/Purple

3. Bin Assembly
Caulking Detail
NOTE: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Apply rope caulking between the
last vertical row of bolts and edge of outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical seams on storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be applied.
Figure 3D Standard Sidewall Sheets (As Viewed from Inside Bin.)
Apply one strip of caulking near the inside edge of the inner sheet. (See Figure 3D.) Place a 10" long strip of caulking along the horizontal seams. Before bolting the next ring into place, apply a strip of caulking 10" long on the front of the underlapped sheet at each joint. A 10" strip of caulking is also to be placed along the lower horizontal edge of the lapping sheet at e very vertical seam. This will fill the space that occurs between the holes caused by the overlapping sheets. Additional 10" strips of caulking must be used to fill larger gaps that occur with heavier gauges or use non-reactive op aque caulk to fill gaps at overlap.

Installing Door Frame
You must install the door frame before any other door parts can be installed.
Before You Begin
1. Inner door frame should be placed inside bin before bin is constructed.
2. Obtain proper lifting equipment, punches and clamps.
3. You will need two (2) to three (3) people.
To Install the Door Frame
1. Using proper lifting equipment, lift both door frames (NCWT0381 and NCWT0380 for triple punched frame, NCWT0408 and NCWT0407 for double punched frame) into position between the full sheet and the short sheet located in the second ring from the bottom. (See Figure 3N on Page 29,
Figure 3O on Page 30 and Figure 3P on Page 31.)
NOTE: Caulk must be located around all bolt holes on both sides of the sidewall sheet before
the door frame is connected to the sidewall sheets. (See Figure 3J.) (See caulking details
on Page 27 and Page 28.)
Figure 3J Caulk Location (Caulk and foam sealant not shown for clarity.)
2. Align holes in the door frames with the holes in the sidewall sheets using punches. If needed, use clamps to keep holes aligned. (See Figure 3Q on Page 32.)
