How much does a 15’ with 8’ side wall, silo weigh? Approximately??

[@ybtypical]

@@sierrafoxtrotgolf3638 Roughly 1,000 ish. We lift 18' x 20' with three jacks with three 2,000lb Come Alongs.

Me and another guy were once hired to take down an old quonset hut in a junkyard. It took us all of a long, hot day and we were covered in rust by the end. The junkyard dog was in a flimsy looking cage right next to the quonset hut. A large German shepherd - wolfish looking thing who voiced his bitter disapproval throughout the entire job. The dog seemed consumed with hatred for us and I suspect he would have made short work of us had he ever escaped his crappy, chicken wire cage.

What was the diameter of your grain bin?

[@michaelfike7542]

You suppose to jack it up and take it apart from the bottom to the top.

[@fishinmuzishin]

Any chance you know the height of those bin jacks? I gotta build 4 right away. Thanks

[@ybtypical]

The grain-bin Jacks we use are 10 ft tall

[@joeandbethjohnson-ts9ov]

We borrowed these, I am not sure the exact height, but I would say 10’ sounds right. They are definitely the right tool for the job. The stand we used to hold the roof while being disassembled is a life saver as well. The roof ended up being the scratchiest part.
