I’m hoping someone can give me some kind of suggestion 24 ton I will be receiving this week or next. I have one already but I have to disable it in order to get the coal in there so I figured I have to figure something else because it’s just too much for me. 63 year old woman 130 pounds. So it Has to be quite easy. How include my set up I have now I have a probably another 3 ton in there. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you! Sorry I don’t know how to flip the pictures around.

I don’t cover my coal outside, we have a bin with a concrete floor and wooden 4’ tall walls that holds 2 tractor trailer loads.

Look into concrete bin blocks. They can be off loaded and stacked into a bin. Relatively inexpensive and quite solid. Your local concrete supplier should have them as they are mostly made from recycled concrete. If not I bet they will know where to find them.
Good luck

The large concrete mafia blocks will require a crane or a very large
backhoe to move them off the delivery truck as the people that make
them only sell and deliver them.

Your much better off buying the best and largest water proof tarpaulin
you can afford and lay it down on the ground before the dump truck
arrives at your home.

By purchasing the largest water proof tarp you can afford you can have
the coal dumped on the ground and pull the tarp over it and secure the
tarp using bricks or cinder blocks or wood planks.
