Subject: RE: Grain bin anchors- Epoxy type or redheads


New Prague, MN
It all depends on how they are installed. A poor installation of either will result in poor performance. If the holes are drilled too large or not torqued down properly, that will cause problems with the redheads. When using an epoxy anchor, cleaning the hole properly is critical. A pipe cleaner brush, blow out with an air wand and repeat.

Personally (being a structural engineer by profession), I would use an epoxy anchor and make sure you clean the holes very well. Also make sure you follow the guide lines for set time and cure time, if you disturb the anchor before the epoxy is set, it's all for not.
