Wisconsin | They were usually tongue and groove bald cypress 2x6", or maybe that was just the best wood, and most were doug fir? Erect a form on the inside, and lean the boards up into place, attach the bands and tighten. The crew would somewhat specialize in a job like that, you wouldn't want to do just one. They would mostly come ready to erect, kit form. The worst problem with the wood silo is they dried out over the summer empty and the bands got loose, leaned or blew over in a storm.
There's lots of short field stone silos, then poured concrete on top to go up another 10-15'. I'd guess they were added onto later, the fieldstone built before poured concrete reached the farms. You don't see many with a BLIMP in the background though! | |
