Bins always have conflict between concrete foundations and grain bin bases, continually damaging any type of sealant applied.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tar, epoxy and foam are expensive fixes that don&#8217;t last. Inevitable cracks appear in these temporary &#8220;band-aids,&#8221; even acting as reservoirs to store the water, rot the grain and rust the bottom of the bin rings. Sealants are an expensive, labor intensive, counter-productive\u00a0 and temporary fix.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning in the Pacific Northwest and now stretching across the country, our Flex Skirt is attached to bins as small as 15&#8242; in diameter up to diameters as large as 106&#8242;! Our customers no longer deal with rotten grain and rusty bottom rings!<\/p>\n<p>Bin owners now have a solution to this never-before solved problem. The Flex Skirt provides a dry zone. <em><strong>The skirt moves with the bin and the dry zone remains stationary and independent, protecting your grain and base rings at all times.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even bin owners with elevated floors utilize the Flex Skirt so their bin bottoms and interior spaces always stay dry and rust free. The Flex Skirt keeps water outside the bin and dry zone. Bugs no longer have wet grain fines to flock to and multiply inside on the concrete floor. Without the rotting wet grain fines, bins are much less likely to corrode and rust.<\/p>\n<p>The All-Bin Flex Skirt is attached to the bin and slides over the concrete base and essential protective dam as the bin expands and contracts, providing constant protection. Rain and snowmelt spill off the bin, over the bin skirt and down to the ground. If distance between bin and concrete is larger than our recommended skirt sizes, use our dam with our 9&#8243; skirt. Unlike the skirt, the dam does not contact the moving bin. It rests under the skirt, thereby maintaining dry conditions at the bin base at all times.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/K6s1Ir79McU<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rain-off-skirt-3.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Rain-off-skirt-3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis was our first installation.

It looked like it was going to be a very short-lived existence for these grain bins. We put the Flex Skirt on all our bins. We have solved our problem.\u201d <\/em> Mike Wiesler, Rocking MT Farms, Washington<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I looked for a solution to keep rainwater out of the bin I am using for a studio and happened up the Flex Skirt. The last think I need is water creeping into my studio. The skirt was easy to install per instructions provided and proved to be the perfect solution to keep water and moisture away from the property.&#8221;<\/em> Ken Robbins, Kentucky<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve been very pleased with the performance of the Bin Skirts.

There is a natural tension and wind deflection inherent in the Flex Skirt that keeps it pushed against the bin at all times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do rodents nest under the skirt?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have never had a report of rodents nesting and multiplying under the Flex-Skirt. If a problem should occur, it is simple to place poison or traps under the Flex-Skirt or in the ends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do I get with the All-Bin Flex Skirt?<\/strong><br \/>\nMoveit provides all components required and instructions needed to install our Flex Skirt on your bins. Our patented Dam under the Flex Skirt has no contact or conflict with the bin and therefore isn&#8217;t susceptible to cracks and seal damage. The Locked Dam is nestled under the Flex Skirt. The Flex Skirt, Dam, Splash Guard and Fan Channel are galvanized sheet metal and attach to the bin with Stainless Steel self-tapping screws which are provided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does it take if I install the Flex Skirt myself?<\/strong><br \/>\nFlex Skirt installation time varies by size, configuration of bin and skill and speed of crew \u2014 Two workers can usually install a Flex Skirt package on a 34\u2019 bin without outside stiffeners in less than 4 hours. Large operators put the installation up for bid or hire a crew. Installation time ranges from 2.5 minutes per lineal foot up to 4+ minutes. Very thick base rings on larger commercial bins, outside stiffeners combine with efficiency of crew are factors that determine install time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I need tools to install the Flex Skirt?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, a few tools are needed\u2014cordless drill, 5\/16\u201d (or 3\/8&#8243; nut driver for over .177&#8243; bin wall thickness), cinch or tie-down strap for skirt installation.\u00a0 A small 1&#8243;-2&#8243; brush or dauber for sealant above splash guard. Depending on the bin, an angle grinder &amp; cutoff (skinny) wheel may be needed for alterations along with a 4&#8243; masonry blade (for a small channel cut in concrete around bin to seal foam on). Old tar and sealants should be removed 3\u201d from bin wall. Circular wire brush\/electric drill works best. <strong>Concrete should be clean, bare and dry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How is the Flex Skirt shipped?<\/strong><br \/>\nFor small orders, Fed Ex Ground. Larger orders shipped LTL (Less Than truckLoad) motor freight. Each order will receive individual rolls of approximately 50\u2019 corrugated Flex Skirt combined for preferred handling plus extra skirt lengths to fill your order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I have to have anything special at my location to receive order?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot for Fed Ex Ground shipments.<\/p>\n<p>For LTL (Less Than Truckload) palletized orders, a forklift or loading dock must be at destination location or additional charges apply. Our experience is that your farm supply in town is best place to ship. Lift gate charge, rural and residential delivery and excess charges for time are high.<\/p>\n<p>Rodent control\/food grade inspection doors are available, not expensive &amp; easily installed. We have never found this step necessary but can be easily added later if desired.<\/p>\n<p>We would prefer that you use this website contact button to communicate with us. We are very busy taking care of orders and customers. Usually within 24 hours after you submit a quote request, we will contact you by phone to answer any questions and fill your order. We would prefer to be paid by check (which can be arranged when we call with your quote. We usually receive by the time we have built your order) but we also accept credit cards with a 3% charge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Patent Pending, US Patent 11102926<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Send us your bin info so we can give you a quote and get your Flex Skirts built!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2933,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[87],"product_tag":[97,100,99,98],"class_list":{"0":"post-1285","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-agriculture","7":"product_tag-bin","8":"product_tag-grain-bin","9":"product_tag-grain-silo","10":"product_tag-silo","11":"product_shipping_class-freight","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"taxable","16":"shipping-taxable","17":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1285"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1285"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moveitinc.com\/s\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
