Assembly
• Build two rings of sidewall sheets for even ringed bins or one ring or three rings for odd ringed bins,
making sure to caulk all seams.
• Add top outside stiffeners and inside stiffeners at the same time to the two rings of sidewall sheets
(Note: These top stiffeners are the lightest gauge stiffeners and will get heavier as the bin is raised.
Therefore, the heaviest stiffeners are located at the bottom of the bin and are installed last.
• Install the wind ring to help support the rings.
• Install the center collar tower support in the center of the bin.
• Install the eave brackets to the inside stiffeners.
• Install the eave angles to the sidewall sheets (Note how these are aligned).
• Install the tension member or tension channels to the eave brackets.
• Lift the pre-assembled A-frames, installing them in “opposite pairs” (across from one another) to
balance out the load as you install.
• Install the lower roof panels.
• Install the upper roof panels.
• Cut roof exhauster holes evenly spaced in upper panels.
• Install the upper flashing.
• Install the roof exhauster.
• Install the flat top.

Stiffeners Splice
Use the following information to determine the gauge of the stiffener splice needed to connect the
stiffeners.
Figure 6-4 Stiffener splice
Use the following chart to determine the gauge of the splice, which is determined by the gauge of the stiff-
eners that are being connected. If connecting a heavier gauge to a lighter gauge stiffener, always use the
heavier gauge splice for the 13 to 12, 8 to 6, and 2 to 0 gauge connections.
For example: If connecting a 13 gauge stiffener to a 12 gauge stiffener, use the 12 gauge splice. If con-
necting an 8 gauge stiffener to a 6 gauge stiffener, use the 10 gauge splice.

General Guidelines:
• Construct the A-frame sections on flat ground or blocking.
• Install the temperature cable brackets at the same time you assemble the A-frame sections.
• Always be aware of the orientation of each part prior to assembling.
• Use the correct hardware for the part being assembled. Never substitute hardware.
• Always ensure hardware is tightened prior to lifting.
• Always practice safety when assembling rafter sections. Be aware of others around you when
moving long A-frame sections.
• Use evenly distributed connection references of support when lifting.
• Before attempting a lift, adjust each lifting cable to achieve the appropriate angle needed
(approximately 30 degrees).
• Assemble the A-frames with diagonal bracing last, so that they can be easily accessed to be lifted
into place first.
