the easiest way to get the silos correctly laid out and sturdy
enough to survive a few bumps from operator’s hands. The
prototype Bernardston mill had several variations of feed
silos, but to make this project a little less challenging I settled
on 10 silos all of the same size along with one large bulk silo
at the end. This made building the base easier, since the ten
silos were supported by four evenly spaced Evergreen .156”
H-columns. Once I determined the silo diameters (one-inch
PVC pipe), I laid out a grid with the silo centers on a piece of
16. Completed feed bin with ladders, walkways, and
railings ready to add to the main structure.
