Crittal panels

[samsung]

Thinking of making a wet bin out of critall panels.
Would like to go 2 panels square 20x20. I need to know how high I can go . 6 metres ideally so 6 panels.
Any thoughts ?

They won't be strong enough on their own, they were made to be 10 foot square with corner supports etc to stiffen them.

You would be better with a round bin.

Funnily enough I have an 18 foot one in a shed dismantled, never been outside.............

As well, aren't there different thickness of panel, the ones at the bottom of a bin being thicker?

Don't do it
We have 3 10 by 10 for wet grain. horrible things

Don't understand why they are horrible. I am thinking a self emptying set up.

I've seen it done 10x20 they put the corner posts in the middle then used tie rods across to stop it bowing out .can't see why with the right stiffners it can't be done 20x20 but it may not be worth the hassle why not just put a nest of 4 bins just make sure you put the thicker sheets at the bottom.i know someone who didn't know about the different thickness and had bottom sheets bend out

We built an unloading bin with a sloping floor so we could unload with JCB. Worked fine with a missing side. Tie rods across to replace the side panels should work.

That's what we have got in one of the stores, Im pretty sure they are 10x16x18ft high to hold 60-70t each bin. Soon to be coming out... bins are ok just the airsweep floors and carier kit that is crap.

Might be interested, is it hopper bottomed ?

Sadly, no

 

[spanners and hammers]

they did make bins bigger than 10x10 they used a flat plate stiffner and rods across to the other side at 6 panels high they would of been built with a part number 20 followed by 2 x 14 and then 2 x nos 12 and one 9 or a 3/4 top instead … panels should have a black handpainted number on them ,, later ones have the number stamped in the joining seem

Outside wet bay with concrete panels very handy to tip anything up

I have one like that except for it hasn't got panels round it or concrete under it and when I am not using it weeds grow there.
