GRAIN STORAGE BIN AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A storage bin is disclosed for storing a flowable material such as an agricultural commodity in a water-impermeable environment which is particularly suited for the storage of grain. The bin includes a liquid impervious, preferably cone-shaped, integral liner supported substantially and entirely by a cavity in the ground adjacent to and beneath the liner. A foundation, which includes a footing supported by the ground adjacent the footing, is located relative to the liner so that an upper lip portion of the liner is secured to the footing. An above ground storage portion of the bin is directly secured to the footing so that the bin construction eliminates the cost of material in steel hopper bottom and concrete hopper bottom bins. A hopper for receiving material and directing it to an unloading auger within the bin is located at the apex portion of the inverted cone-shaped liner. A method of constructing a storage bin of the type described is also disclosed.
