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

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
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 feet. For taller bins, grandstand quantity as well as dimensions “A” and “B” are given on Page 27 and
Page 28 for 20 gauge.
1. Layout centerlines of tank. Make sure one centerline is in line with the direction of the flooring
planks while the other centerline is perpendicular with the flooring planks. See Figure 2B.
2. From the centerline that is perpendicular to the flooring planks, measure the distance of
“C” Dimension and mark a chalk line. See Figure 2B.
3. From the line chalked in the previous step, measure over the distance of “B” Dimension and chalk
another line. Repeat this procedure across the bin until reaching the wall in both directions.
When completed, there should be a set of parallel lines (perpendicular to the floor planks) with
“B” Dimension distance between each line. See Figure 2B.

2. Recommended Method for Full Floor Installation
IMPORTANT: First pie ce of floori ng must start at
the proper distance from centerline of bin. Refer to
floor layout on Page 14. First piece may need to be
trimmed for length to fit at the proper location.
Figure 2C
4. Install flooring starting at the bin wall on the opposite side of the unload auger. Floor planks should
be placed perpendicular to the unload auger with the outside edge the correct distance from the
center of the bin.
(See Figure 6A on Page 14.)
bin wall and the open channel edge is facing tow ards the center of the bin.
Be sure the flat edge of the floor plank is facing the

flashing to flooring and bin w a ll to hold plank in place. (
or stated in the charts on
See Page 12
on Pages 27-28
. Attach the
for flashing installation.)
5. 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 th e floor
cutting planks for center and intermediate wells as needed. See Figure 5A on Page 13 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. For example: 2.66" bin with 8 rings has a “B” dimension of 22". Take 22"/3" = 7.33"
(Round to 7"). Therefore, there should be no more than 7" of unsupported floor plank.

4. Flashing Installation
Figure 4A
Grain Systems Formed Flashing Installation
If a bin sweep auger will be used, overlap flashing so that the sweep with climb up on to the next flashing
section when rotating (usually clockwise). (See Figure 4A.) This will prevent the rotating/slipping outer
wheel of the sweep from catching on the flashing edges. (All GSI power sweeps and carry-in sweeps
manufactured after April 2002 run clockwise.)
After floor is in place, place 1-1/4" bolts through pre-punched holes in sidewall. Bolt heads should be on
outside of bin. See Figure 4B to determine the correct sequence for placing the nuts and washers. Finger
tighten the nuts until all flashing is installed, then go back and fully tig hten. While holding the flashing flat
and pushing in towards the bin wall, fasten the flashing to the floor with two sheet metal screws.
