Found new use for a grain bin at the farm.
Yesterday was a awsome day to break it in with family!

Looks good Randy! I’ve seen some companies building old steel bins into fancy gazebos. Great place to spend a winter day

Cool idea, I watched a video of 2 grain bins built into a vacation rental accommodation.

You should put that on the edge of the yard/ treeline and make it dual purpose. Cut a window up higher with a perch for hunting season. What deer doesn't go to a bin looking for grub.

If I remember right he has a hard time keeping unwanted hunter off his land as it is lol. But that comfy of a place they’ll never leave

My cousin's boyfriend makes his living building these in the Peace River area. Lots of cool ideas!

Great addition for a family gathering place Randy

When I was a kid, there was an old guy that lived a few miles away from us that lived in a grain bin.

Test run turned out great with family and some neighbors.
Going to do a yearly in February.
Hope it soon turns out like summer camping where we get anywhere from 50-100 people showing up.
Always great to visit and have fun.
Made good use of our trail system and got my aunt on a sled who is in her early 70s.
Just great fun!!

Looks great, you will have many enjoyable hours in it.
I need to get one for around /over my fire pit. Have been thinking about it for a couple of years now. Everyone wants so much money for them now.

Its not hard to get family and friends over on a weekend.
Do a little sledding and cross-country skiing.
Put a BBQ inside also to prep food for larger groups.
You can usually get a bin with no floor at a farm auction for $500-750.
Moving them costs just as much and making a lasting base cost a bit more.
Glad we kept three bins, more glad my brother has wild ideas.
They are worth every penny to create!!!
