[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6495595, member: 54866"] I suspect the reason they are so popular abroad is that they don't require huge areas of concrete to be poured unlike a shed. Some of the farms you will see using them on youtube are literally [I]hundreds[/I] of miles away from anywhere, so ordering 9 cubes of concrete to be delivered tomorrow for £60 a cubic (yard) metre just isn't going to happen. A bin on the other hand, all fits on an artic and can be assembled fairly quickly. What you don't want mind is them sitting in a flood.... The above also explains why so many farms in the USA have their own truck. Getting transport might not be that straight forward if all you want is to go to the local elevator or rail head and back 7 times a day. Having had to clean out a sizeable grain bin or two before I would not have them either. A dryer and bins under a roof are a different matter mind. [/QUOTE]
