Now all you need is a few sea crates for drying and you'll have a Cali style scene

Cali Style requires Cali weather. Good Luck w all.

 

[Chunkypigs]

Working on it and a pair of industrial dehumidifyers, or I'm gonna build a gArage

 

[Backyard Farmer]

Just add grow lights and bring the Cali sun to wherever you are,

You'll end up needing. A garage and sea crates...

I was thinking about using a sea crate or two for drying this fall. How would you recommend setting one up BYF?

 

[Backyard Farmer]

Radiant barrier Tek Foil at the least , best if you can insulate it.

I welded D rings on to the back wall and on the front welded in 1x1x.125 and more D rings , I use 550 cord for drying lines and have a couple intermediary supports for the line so it doesn't sag.

If your line sags you lose a LOT of drying space..

I use a ratcheting tie down end to tension and secure my drying lines.

I have Dri Eaz LGR3500 dehumidifiers ....

I have them set up with intake/exhaust now...but I want to set up a dual zone mini split so I can run 2 air handlers and 1 compressor and handle both sea crates.

Just constructed a drying palace that I will put 4 tons of A/C on and a Dri Eaz LGR2800

Farmer, got pics? I'm interested.... I might even build a barn around a crate or two. But to my benefit, there are LOTS of rentals around here for the cheap.

 

[Unclecrash]

Sweet !!! looking good man.

 

[catalyte]

wow, great job on the finished(?) Greenhouse!

 

[Backyard Farmer]

You could also just blackout your green house and dry in there. I've done that, too , In A pinch.

 

[DETStrainKey]

nice set up what are you going to use for light dep ? What co did the hoop house come from?

 

[sho]

No light dep just following the sun, cost of shipping containers here is kinda cost-prohibitive and makes more sense to build a pole barn... Hmm... I'm gonna get busy with a notepad and pencil

 

[Backyard Farmer]

Sea crates are cheap in Nor call because of the port...

I'm sure if you look hard you can find a cheap,source...

Steel building on a slab is ten times the cost of a sea crate...but much nicer...

I can dowz with a cherry limb
