I used some of the reject lumber I bought at work a couple years ago. I have a lot of six foot 2"x 6"s so I made it 6'x3'. I ripped some into 3 pieces each for a slat floor. The last picture is a 50 lb bag of potatoes. It should easily hold 500 lbs, even though I'll probably never have that much.

I was skimming through this thread. I at first thought you were going to use this to grow in, which at first didn't make a whole lot of sense than I saw you were putting it in your basement. Than I thought that is crazy and I do some crazy stuff. But for storage I love it. Good luck with it I am sure it will do fine.
John you have a very nice bin as well.
I just use potato sacks, I did this for onions as well. But I tried some mesh socks (think long pantyhose that you tie up after each onion) I got from Dixondale this year that work great.
