Base Angle Installation

A bolt on the base angle is standard on 8 gauge unstiffened base ring sheets and all Farm-Com base
rings. Install the base ring angle as shown in

Figure 6AB

below.

1. Once the door frame has been placed and secured, continue adding necessary side wall ring(s).

2. To the lower edge of the final bottom ring, attach the base angle ring. Bolt on the base angle where

applicable. Before lowering the bin, apply mastic sealer to the entire underneath side of the base
angle.

(See Figure 6AB.)

3. Next, lower the bin onto the foundation and check for an adequate seal.

4. Sealing the base of the bin after final construction is done by various methods and materials.

However, provisions should be made to seal the base of the bin to prevent moisture from coming into
the bin.
