Installing Wind Rings

Installation of wind rings is similar for a 2 and a 3 post bin design, although hardware quantities may vary.

What You Should Know

Before installing, determine the bin size, sidewall gauge thickness and height. Use the hardware chart to
match the correct bolt length with the correct sidewall gauge thickness when installing the wind ring
brackets to the stiffeners. (Refer to hardware requirements chapter

on Page 22

.) To determine the

location of the wind rings or if additional wind rings will be needed for sidedraw systems, see wind ring
requirements for sidedraw systems.
