This is a 50' wide x 22' high grain storage building bolted to a 2' high grade beam using the double bolt base connector. Note the exterior spacer bar.

Simple to erect. Pioneer steel buildings can usually be erected in 4 or 5 days without the need for special equipment.

Step 1 - Simply pour a floating concrete perimeter grade beam. You can fasten the building to the floating foundation using a base plate or trough connection.
