The right cover system for your silo
Water storage cover systems come in different shapes and sizes. Which is best for your silo mainly depends on the size, the location and your preference for an open or closed deck. The purpose of cover systems is the same everywhere: to prevent algae growth, pollution and evaporation of water in your silo.
There are 5 types of silo cover systems. Not every cover system fits every type or location of the silo. For example, a SiloDome deck is not suitable for a silo larger than 15 m in diameter and an anti-algae fabric no larger than 8 m in diameter. It is better not to leave the latter on in the winter, whereas you can with a SiloDome, GeoBubble or LP-Deck (Open and Close). Do you have a silo in a windy place? In that case the GeoBubble is not suitable. In addition to location, size and seasonality, there are mainly various personal preferences that make the difference. From ease of installation and cleaning to opacity.
