How to use charts on this page:
The chart titled “body sheet chart” is for the reference when building the tank. This chart tells you how
many rings the specific tank must have. To read the chart you look up the tank size you wish to build
(an 18' diameter tank with 4 rings will look like BFT 18'-4 rings). The side labeled “gauge” will tell you which
body sheets to use. The sheets are color coded, all that needs to be done is to match the gauge number
with the color. (Use sheet gauge color code chart.)
IMPORTANT: Number of rings shown for each tank size are maximums. (12' 60° Tanks have a 6 ring
maximum. 15' 45° and 18' 45° tanks have an 8 ring maximum.)
NOTE: Body sheets are color coded on edges for gauge identification.

IMPORTANT: Please note the sheet orientation when assembling the bin sidewall. The upper right

when assembled.
