Back in the day I helped build quite a few 16 to 24 ft bins up to 7 rings high. You won't need much. I would drive a 1 inch pipe where I wanted it. Then tie a 10 ft rope to the stake, walking around marking the outside. Form up outside this with something short 2X6 fine, making it 6 to 8 sided. Then go just inside this and we always spaded a ditch about 10 inches deep around inside your forms. When you are driving your pipe down in the middle stop 1 to 2 inches above your forms. Then when you pour your concrete drive a spike in a 11 ft 2x4 with another 2x4 screwed edge ways to the first one. This will be your screet board. Wire is optional or fiber in the concrete. Stick 6 or so J bolts or bent rods in the outside to tie it down. If you don't have a floor I wouldn't put a auger in the concrete. I would just lay a 6 inch auger and tube to the center on top of the concrete. Just let the auger stick out of the tube 8 inches. That way a 1 hp motor will pull it. Questions 618 599 8041 Vic
