Ladder Cage For Grain Bin
Lester Adelman, Rice, Minn., made a safety cage for the ladder on his grain bin from a round corn crib panel.
  “I bent the panel around a 50-gal. barrel to get the nice round shape, and then cut it to length. A 1/2-in. dia. steel rod was bent and then welded to the top and bottom of the cage to help stabilize the cage and to round off the sharp edges where the panel was cut.
  “We welded angle iron to the cage and used some strap iron to bolt it to the sides of the ladder, using existing holes. The angle iron stiffened the cage so it’s very solid.
  “I feel a lot more secure climbing up and down the bin with this cage in place.”
