1. Determining the layout of the bin stairs. 

(See Figure 2A.)

Figure 2A 

2. Locate the platform directly under the roof ladder and manway hole. The location of the platform 

and manhole must be predetermined so that the stairs will not interfere with auger, doors, fans, etc. 
To determine the stair locations, count the number of bolt spaces around the bin according to the 

Chart below

. This will give the ending location of the stairs. Each step is 8" tall and wraps around the 

bin one (1) bolt spacing, or 9-3/8". 

NOTE: One bolt spacing is the distance between the bolts on the 

horizontal seams, which is equal to 9-3/8".

 On a 2.66" (32" sheet) corrugated bin, the first ring will 

contain the platform at 16" below the eave and two (2) steps. There are four (4) steps for each ring 
thereafter and the four (4) stairs wrap around the bin four (4) bolt spaces or 37-1/2" per ring. Use the 

Chart below 

to determine how many bolt spaces you must allow for the steps during installation.
