Grain store height for tipping trucks in.

[Bax]

Planning a new 80 foot span grain store which is 24 feet to the eaves. Is it going to be high enough to tip artics in? If I go up to 30 feet to the eaves steel work cost goes up considerably.

Can you imagine tipping anything other than grain? 24' probably OK for that, but deffo insufficient for more challenging loads.

I've never met a farmer who said that they wish they'd built a shed 3ft lower.

Yes for grain will be enough as you don't need full tip height. Ours is 22ft to eaves I think, but I wouldn't go any lower.

If a trailer has shiny floor you will tip grain no problem in 22ft to eaves ,25ft is a nice height to get more stored in

Ours are 28’ to eave, can tip full height inside
