My dad has a old grain bin that he says I could have but I can't think of anything to do with it. It is 15 or 20 feet in diameter. It would make a good storage building but I don't need that. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have a friend who made a gazebo out of one it's pretty cool. I wonder if you could make one into a hunting cabin.

Build a cabin out of it like Anti posted then charge people to go pee in a corner. Should be huge with the younger crowd!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I have seen several made into houses as well as garages. Needs insulation or walls made up or the echo effects is bad.

Clients had made some into firewood storage bins, works great heats in summer and cures most wood by then.
Only problem was they both were 5 foot 2 and had the ceiling at 5 ft 6" with 1 inch connecting bolts sorta is hard on the tall guys that had to stack firewood inside

I have one that is a shed. Mine looks like a turd but it is functional. This is it in the background. I’m clearing the space beside it for a new trap shed.[Linked Image]

Saw a show where a guy had several and made small cabins out of them and started renting them out on airbnb.
