Silos, Concrete Poured
A storage structure manufactured of poured-in-place concrete with either a steel or fiberglass reinforced roof (silos over 50 years old will usually have a poured-in-place concrete roof). It sits on a concrete footing with a dirt floor. A ladder with a safety cage will extend from the ground to the top of the silo. Generally along side the ladder will be a filler pipe with a curved fill pipe at the top, extending through the edge of the roof for filling the silo. These silos will almost always unload their feed from the top with a secondary chute of concrete running the height of the silo except for the bottom 4 to 8 feet. Inside this chute is a continuous opening running from the bottom of the silo to the top. Wooden doors fit into this opening with usual door dimensions of 24 inches high by 24 to 28 inches wide.
