Subject: RE: Grain bin forms idea.


Kingston,Mi
I would rent the 2 x2 ft. steel and plywood commercial forms, 34 pieces for each bin will provide a 21.6 ft. diameter pad. As some one said form, pour, strip in 2 days in the morning then form the other pad, pour and strip then call the rental and have them picked up. Then you don't have to try and find a use for a truck load of junk plywood. A contractor on a job I was the inspector on called for a specific bundle of forms, the rental/concrete supply company brought all the forms, keepers, ties, strong backs, turn buckles and a pile of other consumables. His crew set 2 walls, poured them, stripped 2 days later and piled the returnables. About a month later he was ready for the second set of walls and the forms came back. He had something like 300 carpenter/millwrights working for his firm and didn't own any forms. Even tapered wing walls were done with rented forms, just added a shaped chine to the assemble forms to define the top of the wall and form a good edge.
