Abstract: A flashing system for a grain drying bin is described to prevent the accumulation of grain between the juncture of the grain drying floor positioned within the bin and the interior surface of the vertical wall of the bin. The flashing system is comprised of a plurality of flashing members secured together in an end-to-end relationship so as to extend around the entire inner wall surface of the bin at the lower end of the drying floor. The upper ends of the flashing members are secured to the wall of the bin and extend downwardly and inwardly therefrom to the perforated drying floor.

Abstract: A tension band for a grain drying bin is described which extends around the lower end of a conical-shaped drying floor positioned within the bin. The lower end of the grain drying floor is secured to the tension band which is secured to the wall of the bin so that the weight of the grain drying floor is transferred to the concrete foundation supporting the bin through horizontally spaced and vertically disposed stiffeners.
