Making a couple pellet silos to store pelletes. Need help

[tnt8281]

If I were to build a couple. What could I do about moisture? If they are sealed from the environment, what moisture problems will I have over the summer sitting?

 

[tnt8281]

Not a single person has an idea? Any website that might help? Anything?

hey shorty,

Couple things to look at over at the iburncorn site. I have see a few bunkers over there. You could also check out the grain silo's at the farm stores. There about the same thing.

Bulk pellets aren't that popular yet, But I think there were a few posts by some of the members here. Do you have bulk pellets available in your area?

Moisture shouldn't be a problem if the bin is in a dry area with good air circulation... they are popular in Europe where bulk pellet deliveries are common.

Keep it dry and insulate it to prevent moisture from condensation, if it is going to be exposed to the elements.

They give me an idea how to make them for the pellets. Overall I might as well just put up a second polebarn just for pellets.

Well even if they are available it would be Michigan wood pellets. So I would pass on that. I just want to have my pellets in a smaller area. Taking up alot of my polebarn. Now I have a reason to build another one. Rather have a second polebarn then a silo.
