Grain Cover Advantages
Grain stockpiles and grain bunkers are becoming very common in agriculture as a less expensive alternative to silos. You can now store wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, rice, nuts, cottonseed, and other various commodities on a large scale at a fraction of the cost. Unlike long term structures like silos, which are costly to erect and move, temporary grain covers are quick to deploy and are a fraction of the cost.
Material That Lasts
Superior Material
There are several materials we use for grain covers depending on your stockpile material, desired longevity and conditions. Each cover is produced with high quality 1.5″ welds that are tested before shipping to ensure performance. Grain covers can also feature grommets on the perimeters along with four rows of stitching for extra strength. It is specifically engineered to provide high strength and durability in a lightweight material.
Easy To Install
Installation
Different installers have different methods for installing the grain bunker covers. One common method is to put the cover in the middle on top of the pile and then to roll it down the sides of the pile on opposite sides. You would then grab the cover and pull it to unfold onto the stock pile. You can specify to ALCO how you would like us to make and fold the cover so that when it arrives you can install it per your desired method. The covers can arrive folded or on rolls for quick deployment.
