Sidewall Assembly
Start by assembling the top ring of the Bulk Feed Tank. The top row of bolt holes has 3-1/8" spacing in
the top ring. Before bolting the sidewall sheets together, check that you have the proper gauge steel for
the top ring. The higher gauge number denotes thinner material. For example, 20 gauge material is thinner
than 14 gauge. In assembling all Bulk Feed Tanks the thinnest material always go on top. The heaviest
corrugated sidewall sheets will be located on the bottom of the tank. Check the various gauges of the
tank with the “Sheet Gauge Color Code Chart” and “Sidewall Sheet Gauge Chart”,
on Page 23 . Begin
by putting the rings together on the edge of the sheets. After the first ring is complete, the roof must be
assembled as described
on Pages 26-27 . After the roof is assembled, the tank can be rolled on its side
for easier sidewall assembly. (See Figure 6F on Page 27.)
Tighten all bolts from the nut side only.
