I may be getting a couple old BSB bins probly around 1000 bushel ones. Both would make very nice storage sheds and I can combine the 2 to make one pretty tight bin fit to store a little wheat in. Can anyone tell me about this company? And about how old these may be? It also says Perfection on the side of one of them. Company was out of Kansas City MO. Just curious about the MFR of these anyone familiar with them??

If you are combning them for grain storage be careful about the gauge of the sheets. You put some of another bin on the bottom of the first bin of lighter gauge you are asking for trouble. If you need it litle bigger just go with a 18ft govwernment bin and you will already be taller and you can get them for the moving usually.

Thanks for the tip. I will check them out but I think they are the same guage both bins are identical. What are Government bins? I have read about them here on YT though I don't know what they are.

yes they probably are but when you make them taller they may not be heavy enough to stand the extra pressure. government bins is just term used in my area as thats what the grain was stored in in some locations by the government. they were nothing more than 18ft diameter by 6 1/2 rings tall. they were basically 3200 bushel bins. You can get them for free or up too 300.00 some people can get if they find the right desperate person.

Yes I see what you mean. The only thing I would be doing is replaceing a bad sheet or 2 that has some holes in it and the bin would still just be a 3 ring. I won't know for sure what I will have to do until I inspect them further. Thanks for the info.

if thats all you are doing then yes you will be fine but just don't use a lighter sheet where it should be the heavier one. Keep it like it is gauge wise then yes you will be fine. I have seen what happens if you don't and its not pretty and has caused death in some cases. just this past month in my area again some one tried to use just any sheet well it didn't work,he won't be doing it again now as he is 6ft under.

Yes I can see how useing a lighter one could be a real no no. I am sure these bins both have the same guage of tin in them. Sad story about what happened near you. A man needs to take care when messing with things like that.

We have two BS-B bins , they are 14' diameter, a few years ago we added extensions to the bottom by jacking them up and added drying floors and an auger basket, we use them for seed. Really no need for a sweep in them as shoveling is not too bad , but i recomend a respirator for working with oats if you don't wanna spit black all day.
But since you are going to use it as a shed, I would use rope caulk just like you were putting it up for grain to seal out leaks, and if you don't use all the holes or drill new ones, just put a bolt with a rubber washer in that hole to seal it. You will be using open end wrenches to work with the sqaure nuts to take it apart , and some have screw driver flat head bolt heads on the outside, all I can say is have FUN with THAT!My sons love the lids on the bins, they look like a giant old style bottle cap!

These are close to that size 12 or 14ft. Yes the lids do look like an old style bottle cap!! Yes I will seal them up good. Where is a good place to get ahold of the rubber washers?

Rubber bin washers....locally I'd say a good sized hardware store, or any farmer with grain bins that he built will have stash of them, if you could find a grain bin dealer, he could hook you up with some, most bin bolts are 5/16" diameter, and have a steel washer either built in or added so the rubber washer will seal good, try not to spin the bolt head from the outside of the bin because it will chew up the washer and that's not good, have a "buddy" tigthen the nuts from indide the bin while you stand outside with a wrench to hold it from spinning out there.

I bought a new one in 1964. It is about 2750 Bu. size, 18 ft. dia, not sure of the height. It is a good bin, and has served me well.
The BSB stands for," Black, Sybals, and Bryson", not sure of the spelling. I don"t know if they are still around.

Thanks MPK that is nice to know. I remember now it says Bryson on there also on the side. These look like they are 12ft or so around and around 8ft to the eves. The doors need a lil work and with the 2 I can make a good one. They look well made.
