Most silos like scott is dealing with have no ladder going to

That may be the best way. Should be lots of old TV tower that we could get
for taking it down. Stand it up beside the silo and bolt it to the side.
Should be able to get 2 sections (20') above

16' Schedule 40 Pipe. I have 4 silos like this. Attach pipe with L
brackets (Old ARC Antenna mounts) to the silo with RedHeads (concrete
anchors) into the concrete. Push up pole, with usually about 6'

get the pipe from a
We do the same thing, but we use the full 21' galvanized pipes from the
hardware store. I secure them with hose 2 hose clamps around at least 4
of the steel rings. I did not want to screw into the concrete, as I was
concerned with the screws being able to come loose. With hose clamps
around
Unfortunately at least one of the silos has no bands, so it will be
screws, I guess.
One silo we did use a 21' pipe and it still does not clear the dome.
How much pipe to attach to the silo, so how far above the concrete do
you get?

on them too and seen a lot of safety issues from the fall protection cage
being rusted through and falling, to the top cap trying to fall off. Just be

We usually attach 6-8' to the silo, which gives you about 15' above and
clears the dome nicely.

Wasn't there someone here who had a one hell of a design for a silo hoop

To make up for the weakness, I just use a 45' push up pipe and just
make sure not to extend it more than halfway which gives me about 20+
feet.

As far as climbing, most of the silos have a light-weight ladder
compared to water tanks. Also, no high place to tie off at the top.
Same precautions only more so.
