The storage system that a boiler operator opts for mainly depends on the space situation, like cellar, garage, attic, etc.

New building / old building

If a wood pellet heating system is chosen for a new building, it is purposeful to plan the respective rooms from the start. If inside storage is not possible, the pellets must be stored outside.

On principle, the installation of a fabric silo outside the house is no problem. The store must be protected against rain underneath a carport, in a garage or in a woodshed.
The rooms in old buildings cannot be changed. Flexible silos offer the ideal solution in this case as they can be optimally manufactured for the room. The trough discharge silo is especially suited for rectangular rooms since the unused room is less due to only two angles.

The problem of humid cellars in old buildings must be taken into consideration. A storage room must be prepared accordingly. The use of flexible silos in cellatr rooms is normally no problem provided that ventilation is sufficient.
