Pallet is made of six 1' x 8' x 47' construction-grade boards with 20-degree beveled edges. These are nailed to 3' x Vh' x 47' rough skids with 8d galvanized nails. Above, right: Bin body is made of four 23-15/16' X 46-3/8' x 5/8' Exterior type C (repaired) C or BC grade plywood sides fastened, with 8d galvanized nails, to diagonally cut 4 x 4's at corners. Sides are follow-around type and are all the same size. The 4x4, diagonally cut corners are 1/16' longer than the sides, to provide them some protection during stacking and handling. Below: The 16-gauge, galvanized sheet-metal reinforcing corners are 2W on each side, and extend from Va' below bin top to Va' above skid bottom. Holes are prepunched. These corners hold bin body to pallet. Galvanized nails are used; 8d size is ample since they are subjected to shear and compression forces. The 18-gauge, galvanized sheet-metal caps on top of pallet entry sides of bin are held in place by an 8d galvanized nail in each end, driven into the corner post at a slight angle.
