Kit No. 620 is
our interpretation of the classic Stave Silo, variations of which are
still seen doted across the breadbasket of America. Our easy to
construct silo is based on a typical 50 foot high x 20 foot diameter
vertical structure. The Stave silo was constructed using wood or
concrete planks that were then tightly banded together to form a ring.
To increase the strength toward the bottom of a silo, bands were
installed at greater frequency.
The typical use of this type of silo is not for the storage
of harvested grain, but for the creation of feed called silage. Silage
is made from grass crops, including corn or other cereals, using the
entire green plant (not just the grain). The plant is then shredded and
blown into the silo through the fill tube on the side. Once loaded, the
top is covered in plastic and is allowed to ferment. The farmer would
then unload the silage through the large unloading chute on the side
and feed it to cud-chewing animals like cattle and sheep during the
winter. The unloading chute typically discharged into a small house at
the bottom, as on our kit, or directly into the barn.
The Farm Silo with Shed kit features 100% laser-cut wood
components for a perfect fit plus Tabbed & Slotted construction
with Peel & Stick windows, doors, trim, and roofing material for
ease of assembly. Detail parts include cast resin dome and one-piece
silo body with unloading chute as well as plastic filler tube and
laser-cut wooden access ladder. The Silo may be finished as either a
wood or concrete structure. When assembled, the Silo with Shed measure
2.5 inches long x 1.5 inches wide x 4.5 inches high and compliments our
very popular No. 614 Midwest Farm Combo and No. 619 Country Barn kits.
