Commercial hopper grain bin assembly method

A commercial hopper grain bin assembly method comprising:

• assembling a commercial hopper grain bin shell on a concrete pad by successively supporting a plurality of corrugated side-wall panel rings that have been previously coupled together above the concrete pad with jacks while coupling a subsequent corrugated side-wall panel ring to a bottom of the plurality of previously coupled side-wall panel rings;
• supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling a horizontal support beam ring around a bottom periphery of the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell;
• supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell and the previously coupled horizontal support beam ring above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling an uppermost ring of vertical support legs to the horizontal support beam ring;
• supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell and the previously coupled horizontal support beam ring above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling an uppermost ring of hopper panels to the horizontal support beam ring;
• successively supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell and the vertical support legs previously coupled to the horizontal support beam ring above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling an additional ring of vertical support legs to the bottom of the previously coupled vertical support legs;
• and
• successively supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell and the hopper panels previously coupled to the horizontal support beam ring above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling an additional ring of hopper panels to the bottom of the previously coupled hopper panels;
• wherein the supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell above the concrete pad with the jacks while coupling the horizontal support beam ring includes coupling the jacks to the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell;
• wherein the successively supporting the assembled commercial hopper grain bin shell and the vertical support legs previously coupled to the horizontal support beam ring above the concrete pad with the jacks includes coupling the jacks to the vertical support legs previously coupled to the horizontal support beam ring;
• and
• wherein the commercial hopper grain bin assembly method assembles a commercial hopper grain bin including the horizontal support beam ring, the uppermost ring of vertical support leas, the additional ring of vertical support legs, the uppermost ring of hopper panels, and the additional ring of hopper panels.
