Silos, Concrete Stave
A storage structure manufactured of concrete stave with either a steel or fiberglass reinforced roof. It sits on a concrete footing with a dirt floor. A ladder with a safety cage will extend from the ground to the roof. 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. The concrete stave silo will have exterior reinforcing rods around the silo, with the distance between each reinforcing rod getting farther apart as they move up the silo. These silos will almost always unload their feed from the top, with a secondary chute of concrete staves or steel running the height of the silo except for the bottom 4 to 8 feet. Inside this chute will be concrete door frames of approximately 30 inches wide by 30 inches high, running from the bottom of the silo to the top. Either wooden or steel doors fit into the door frame opening with usual door dimensions of 24 inches high by 24 inches wide.
