Q.
We are thinking of building air drying sheds to decrease air drying degrade. Is there design info available? If so where can I get it?
A.
I haven’t seen a standard design. Gary Ort’s mill has the typical design. We need adequate spacing between packs (24 inches edge to edge) and at least a 3 ft overhang, plus gutters.
