How Much Does a Grain Bin Gazebo Cost? Kit Price, Freight, and Lead Time
If you've been pricing a grain bin gazebo, here's the short version: the kit itself runs $5,669.95 to $7,899.95 depending on size and brand, and freight on top of that typically runs $900 to $1,600 more. Nobody charges you for freight at checkout on either brand we carry. You get a real number quoted to your address before you owe anything toward delivery.
I've sold both of the grain bin gazebo kits on our site long enough to know where buyers actually get surprised, and it's rarely the sticker price on the product page. It's freight, lead time, and what the pad underneath it costs. Here's the real breakdown.
What a Grain Bin Gazebo Kit Actually Costs, Size by Size
| Grain Bin Gazebo | Price, Freight & Build Time |
|---|---|
| Behlen BinVista, 16 ft | $6,295.95 kit $900–$1,600 freight ~3 weeks + transit |
| Sioux Steel, 12 ft | $5,669.95 kit Freight quoted per address 7–14 weeks + transit |
| Sioux Steel, 15 ft | $5,799.95 kit Freight quoted per address 7–14 weeks + transit |
| Sioux Steel, 18 ft | $5,949.95 kit Freight quoted per address 7–14 weeks + transit |
| Sioux Steel, 21 ft | $7,089.95 kit Freight quoted per address 7–14 weeks + transit |
| Sioux Steel, 24 ft | $7,899.95 kit Freight quoted per address 7–14 weeks + transit |
Sioux Steel's Deluxe package, which adds a bottom wall sheet and a built-in bar countertop, costs more than these Standard prices. Call us for current Deluxe pricing on your size.
What's Actually Included in That Price
Both kits ship as a complete crate: every wall panel cut and punched, the roof, the structural hardware, printed instructions, and an assembly video. Neither price includes the concrete pad or foundation underneath it, and neither includes a permit if your county requires one for a permanent structure this size. Check your local building codes before you order, not after the crate arrives.
Freight is the other piece people forget to count. Behlen's crate runs $900 to $1,600 to most of the lower 48. Sioux Steel freight is quoted individually, since the crate is bigger and the factory is in a different part of the country. Neither is charged at checkout. You get the real number by email before you pay for delivery, and you can call 1-800-914-0074 for a quote before you order either one.
The Other Cost Nobody Prices In: Your Timeline
Behlen builds the BinVista in about three weeks, plus truck transit. Sioux Steel builds to order in South Dakota, and that runs 7 to 14 weeks before it even ships. If you're working toward a listing launch or a booked event, that gap is worth more than a few hundred dollars of price difference. Call before you order if your date is firm; we'd rather tell you a real number than have a crate miss your opening.
New Kit vs. Converting a Used Grain Bin
Some buyers price out a used bin from a farm sale instead of a kit. The bin itself is cheaper, but the hauling, cutting, reinforcing, and figuring out the roof and legs on your own adds up fast, and none of it comes with a warranty. I broke down the real math on that in New vs. Used Grain Bin Gazebo Kit: What You Actually Save.
Final Verdict
- Want the lowest total cost and the fastest timeline? The Behlen BinVista at $6,295.95 and about three weeks to build is hard to beat if 16 feet works for your space.
- Need a specific diameter, a bar countertop, or a 10-year warranty? Sioux Steel is the one to order, but build in the 7-to-14-week lead time from day one.
- Planning to put a fire feature under it? Size and gas-only safety rules apply — see Grain Bin Gazebo with a Fire Pit: What Fits and What to Buy before you order a size.
Common Questions
Is freight really not charged at checkout?
Correct, on both brands. We quote freight to your exact address and email it to you before you owe anything toward delivery.
Does the price include the foundation?
No. Both kits need a level concrete pad, pavers, or an approved base, and that's a separate cost on your end. Sioux Steel's site prep checklist (linked on their product page) walks through what the pad needs to handle.
Which one actually costs less once freight is in?
Usually the Behlen BinVista, since its freight tends to run lower and the kit itself is mid-pack on price. But if you need a size other than 16 feet, that comparison doesn't apply — you're choosing Sioux Steel for the diameter, not the price.
Can I get a faster lead time on the Sioux Steel?
Sometimes. Their 7-to-14-week range reflects how backed up the factory is when you order. Call 1-800-914-0074 and we'll give you today's real number before you commit to a date.
