      What size would you recommend? A little late for changes but we do have swamp mats or belting that could expand it if necessary. Mud is our nemesis out here with the wet heavy clay.

        Could put chicken wire on the sides and bottom of your trusses if need be. I despise birds in sheds too.

          That looks good Woodland. Not sure how much bigger too make it tho. All I know is when the wind starts blowing and chaff and light seeds get spinning around it piles up off the pad no matter how big. Neighbour has one your size and says he shud have went 25 x 40 but I don’t know if that would be enough depending on weather. Definitely gonna help your situation.

            The given size is perfect for a grain dryer. The guys from our farmer's club usually do the same as you. However, they usually hire specialized construction companies to project the whole thing.
