Caulking Detail
NOTE: The rope caulking is installed before each sheet is assembled. Apply rope caulking between the
last vertical row of bolts and edge of outside sheet. There is sufficient caulking for all vertical
seams on storage and drying bins. Wipe sheet clean where caulking is to be applied.
Figure 3D Standard Sidewall Sheets (As Viewed from Inside Bin.)
Apply one strip of caulking near the inside edge of the inner sheet. (See Figure 3D.) Place a 10" long
strip of caulking along the horizontal seams. Before bolting the next ring into place, apply a strip of
caulking 10" long on the front of the underlapped sheet at each joint. A 10" strip of caulking is also to be
placed along the lower horizontal edge of the lapping sheet at every vertical seam. This will fill the space
that occurs between the holes caused by the overlapping sheets. Additional 10" strips of caulking must
be used to fill larger gaps that occur with heavier gauges or use non-reactive
opaque caulk to fill gaps
at overlap.
