Crittal Grain Panels.

[JD6920s]

Looking to build a grain hopper for a drier out of some crittal grain panels, are there any wider than 3m?
Ideally I’d like it 4m square so as to not to have to go too high.

I’ve got to do the same, I was thinking of using those meter square bolt together panels once I’ve made a lower hopper, how are you making the lower hopper part if you don’t mind sharing, ideally I want to keep it as low as possible while still getting many many tons in.

Just build a four sided cone shape in a square frame. Not started yet as want to find some 4m panels, then it’ll all come together

I like the use of the word "just" that's my kind of building, it'll be alright on the night!

They look ideal, what depth would each sheet be?
And how much would you be asking per sheet and some corner posts please?

Out of interest, what are the plates that are bolted in the sheets for, strengthening cross bars?

 

[grainboy]

Corner strengthening

Oh dear! What happened there??

That’s how we break into the bin, concrete slopping floors are a pain,
the panels available will be all top clean ones,

Oh I see now, the clean bricks are all backfill
