Abstract
A grain bin floor support system having a plurality of interconnected support members. The support members are constructed from a monolithic sheet of structural metal stamped and formed having upper and lower horizontal rails spanning across and integrally connected by a plurality of transverse support columns.

The stabilizing portions are configured to be folded out in opposite directions forming a non-planar self-supporting structure.
