An offset laminate seam system for storage bins for increasing the capacity of bolts in a seam of a storage bin. The offset laminate seam system for storage bins generally includes three or more panels connected together with two or more vertical rows of end fasteners to form a vertical seam. The interconnection of three or more panels continues to form a ring structure. A plurality of the ring structures are stacked upon one another and attached together with fasteners to form the wall of the storage bin and a roof is attached to the uppermost ring structure.

This application describes insulated panel systems with first and second encapsulated foam core panels having foam cores, coated with or otherwise encapsulated in a shell material. Front and back overlap members may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel or the second encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container around a perimeter of the container (i.e., in a lateral direction relative to the container). A drip edge and overlap member may be fixed to the first encapsulated foam core panel to allow the insulated panel system to removeably cover a container vertically along a height of the container (i.e., in a vertical direction relative to the container).

Provided is a silo hopper with a hopper opening for connection to a silo cell with a rectangular cross-section. The silo hopper includes a hopper wall which encloses the hopper opening. The hopper wall extends from an upper plane to a lower plane lying parallel thereto and tapers from a rectangular upper cross-section in the upper plane to a smaller lower cross-section in the lower plane. The silo hopper is self-supporting and is provided at at least one corner, preferably at all corners, with a leg segment. The leg segment extends at right angles to the upper plane and includes a first plate part which is parallel to a first side of the upper cross-section and includes a second plate part which is parallel to a second side of the upper cross-section lying at right angles to the first side. The first and second plate parts are mutually connected close to the hopper opening by a third plate part. The third plate part forms an angle of 135 with the first and second plate part, as seen perpendicularly of the upper plane. Also provided are a silo base and a method for erecting a silo.
