[QUOTE="whitewing, post: 819677, member: 14975"] Nova, this project actually started a couple of years ago but because of drought at my place I never finished it. What little pasture production I had was rapidly and completely consumed by my animals so I didn't make the effort or incur the expense. This past year we had near-normal rainfall and I got a firsthand look at just how much material my pastures can produce in short order. That's why I want to complete the project before the rains fall again. During heavy rainfalls this past "winter", the walls held up amazingly well and I'm confident that once full of material, I'll have little problem with the structural stability of the walls. Also, there will be a thick plastic sheet between the walls and the material in the silo. This sheet of plastic will actually cover a few feet of the concrete floor on both sides, run up the walls, and then be flapped over the material in the silo to prevent air intrusion from damaging the material within. It'll be held down with used tires. [/QUOTE]
