I'm not going to argue with what works for guys. Like northernfarmer said, every situation is different. The substructure is probably the most important. What I do know is that having to do it a second time because it wasn't done right the first time is the most expensive way to do it.  |

Have westeel 19-8 on hoppers no skids on 5 inch concrete floating slab, been there for sometime and looks like it will be there for a long time yet, can’t recall the exact rebar spacing, I feel like a lot of you guys are way overkill on the concrete How many bushels are those bins and how many legs are there holding it up? How big is the pad on the bottom of legs? |

Good to know about 6 inches thick does the job! I have gone as thin as 13 inches. Those are the hoppers with skids on. .
I grow no wheat so the extreme weight factor put on the concrete is not an issue. Even canola at 50 lbs in a bushel is quite light compared to 64 lb wheat!
