Barn World carries a great selection of grain bin sizes and mini-feed bins.

They all offer safe, dry feed storage and are available in a variety of sizes and heights. The metal bins have 6′, 7,’ and 9′ diameter sizes and are made with 4″ wide corrugated steel.  These horizontal ridges add to the strength of the walls and help reduce the resistance to the downward flow of feed so the feed is less likely to hang up on the walls and start bridging. Industry tests have proven that wide corrugation gives 25% more vertical strength than narrow corrugation and almost twice the strength of bins with no corrugation. Wider corrugation results in wider bin sheets, thereby increasing overall storage capacity. The wide-width corrugated bin holds more bushels than a narrow corrugated bin.

We also have a grain bin erection manual online for the grain bins so you can see how easy it is to assemble.

Mini Feed Bins

The mini feed bins are made from rust-proof plastic and with a metal collar. They’re available in 40 and 65-bushel capacities and a designed for filling buckets and storing everything from feeders to corn used for heating.

It allows a generous 24″ ground clearance for filling and the hopper section is made of poly material so it will never rust.

Sometimes you don’t need the large storage capacity and giant footprint a grain bin provides. Smaller quantities can be stored and dispensed from a small feed bin that sets up easily and takes up much less space.

The mini feed bin was made for dispensing grain, heating corn, pellets and almost any granular material.

These small grain bins come with a poly boot and slide valve on the bottom and provide 24″ of ground clearance for filling buckets. They’re available in 40 and 65 bushel capacities. The lid and hopper are made of poly material so they won’t ever rust or corrode.

Both sizes use strong galvanized steel walls and a very large lid for easy filling. The lip of the lid drops down over the top of the bin flange to eliminate water from entering. The lid is clamped down with the handle (#4) as shown below.

These bins ship un-assembled to take advantage of the best available shipping rates and do require some assembly.  Below are links to the assembly manuals for both sizes:

Installation

In the picture above, a customer has mounted the legs to wood to help support them for display purposes. Many customers ask if the bin can be mounted in the back of a truck.  Installing in vehicle isn’t recommended. The momentum of the material held up high during a change of direction or a quick stop can compromise the frame. Those excessive moving loads can be too much during a change of direction. When you have thousands of pounds held up high as they are in this bin, there is a lot of sideways force on the legs and it’s best to be used on the ground.

The feed bin should bolt to a concrete slab to prevent high winds from tipping it when empty. It also adds to the structural integrity of the vertical legs when they’re bolted into place. There are details in the assembly manuals above and here’s a diagram for reference:

When you need to store and protect feed, pellets or really any granular material from the elements or pests, these great little bins are the answer. The 40 bushel holds just over a ton while the larger 65 bushel has just over a 1.5 ton capacity.

The poly hopper section eliminates rust and filling bucket with the gravity feed system is easy to use.

The bins do ship on a pallet through the United States and require a some assembly.

Barn World offers a wide variety of Bulk Feed Bins for storing and dispensing your grain and feed. The wide variety includes bins made of metal and poly material and quantities from one ton up to 25 tons.

Bulk feed storage is a very economical and efficient method of dispensing and managing your grain inventory. All of the bins are designed to protect your investment from the elements and common insects and pests year round. They have convenient methods of dispensing small and large quantities of grain at a time, Options allow for manual control to fill individual buckets or run large quantities through a motorized auger.

Poly Grain Bins

The poly bins will never fall victim to rust. The larger capacities are made with a single top and bottom section for easy two-piece construction. This means easy assembly and set up as the top half bolts to the bottom for a quick and clean connection.

Below are a few pictures of some of the sizes available:

    

The bins are made with UV-resistant, translucent, high-density polyethylene. You can quickly and easily see the grain level inside the bin with just a glance. The walls are sturdy and strong 3/16″ thick and their smooth interior helps reduce bridging and allows for free-flowing material to dispense smoothly. There are no rivets or protruding bolts to impede flow when releasing your feed.

A bottom slide valve is available with each bin and allows for manual flow control and shut-off. An auger attachment can be used for unloading large amounts quickly and efficiently. The poly wall design is great for high moisture soybeans, corn, and almost any granular materials.

Metal Grain Bins

The traditional metal feed bins are available in a wide range of capacities. They’ve been the industry standard for years and a common sight throughout the US.

Details

The metal gins are available in capacities of 108 bushels up to 977 bushels. The large sizes create the need for larger diameters that range from 6′, 7′, and 9′ and get up to 25′ tall. See the size chart below for more details.

The corrugated walls are made with G-90 galvanized steel. The 4″ wide corrugation adds tremendous strength (25% more than straight steel) and will help prevent feed bridging inside.

These bins all have a top cap that can be operated from the ground for easy filling. Optional side ladders make climbing to the top convenient if you ever need to access the lid.

Under the taper hopper section, a top collar allows for the attachment of slide valves, poly boots, and un-loader boxes to attach an auger. There are also seam stiffeners that create an extra-strong bolted seam and should be considered as an option for storing high-fat and heavy feeds. They do come standard with the larger 9′ diameter bins.

Barn World offers a complete selection of grain bins in both metal and poly construction for economical feed storage and dispensing. We also offer to ship directly to your farm or ranch. For smaller quantities, consider the 40 and 65-bushel mini feed bins.
