Grain Bin Sealing...Keep The Water OUT

[@jankotze1959]

Morning BP, good job

Good evening BP and CP 🥃🥃🥃👍🍻

Good afternoon.
I would think that tar should cure the problem. That's a bugger if your grain is getting wet.
Best wishes my friend.

Brutus looks pretty good hopefully that roofing shit works👍👌

That works good that tar back in 1979 I used it on bins I brought from pool in Whitewood they were cheap because of not sealing good still have same floor in it its wood after about 9 years had to touch it up

Ok, BP, here's what to do since the summer heat and winter cold will crack that tar and leaks will reappear:
1) clean out material from under bin wall from INSIDE bin.
2) go to building supply (Regina has many) and buy a bag of NO SHRINK GROUT
3) mix so workable but not wet like paint
4) force grout under crack with a stick till full
This isn't perfect, as only a knee wall is superior, but I've used this method and it holds well. Doesn't cost much either.
Hope this helps.

So your telling me to clean out all the tar I just put in??

[@sagecrockett693]

@@bcpfarmandtrucking6560 The tar on the outside stays, whatever material you have under the wall now remove. No shrink grout will act as a backer for the outside tar (bitumen).
There is also mesh that is sold in rolls like tape and we use it when applying tar as it helps to keep the tar from cracking.

Good afternoon, BP and CP. There's still time for Brutis to come right. 👍

Tar should work well, have done that many times and seems to hold up the longest.

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

You could throw some dry limestone against the tar on the inside of those bins , should take care of grain sticking to it maybe ?

Good morning CP and BP ☕☕☕
Yup, gotta keep them sealed!! Our bins are actually set into the concrete a few inches, the floor is higher than the outside.

[@chadtosh6831]

Yep, same when I cemented mine.

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I thought about doing but for the cost decided not too

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@bcpfarmandtrucking6560 if it's higher inside, than out, the water has to get deep to get in. We have 1 bin that gets damp, but the driveway has been built up against it..

That tar after it dryers won't stick anymore

Maybe have to put Brutus in the freezer a little early.. but hopefully get him big enough to make it worth while!

I would hit that rust with a wire wheel use spray on eve trough leaking like that tar works good and sticks good

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]
