WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL BIN. Stored grain, although heaped in the center, should
be no higher than the roof eaves at the outer edge.
(See Figure 2A.) Filling the bin
above this point creates excessive internal pressure and may cause swelling and
eventual roof failure. The overfilling of a bin may also cause the blockage of roof
vents and eaves, which will lead to a build-up of air pressure causing roof damage.
