Solar Dehydrator - Mission Accomplished

After working on painting, attaching the screens and trying to figure out my options for the cover -- I finally finished up the solar dehydrator this week.

Painting and shelves completed, cover frame leaning against front:

IMGP8030


Totally finished:

IMGP8031 Completed!

Lid Open:
IMGP8102


Thanks to: Jon for all his help putting this together, Tom for helping with prototyping the internal frame, and James for his emotional support and help attaching screens, hasps and moving this thing around.

FIRST DRYING PROJECT: James has a pile of Asian pears from his friend, I'm going to pick a pile of lemons from Regan's house and dry some pears!

  1. Love this design, its much simpler and looks easier to build than the others I've seen. I have seen, In the British TV series, "Its Not Easy Being Green" They showed one that had dowel rods where the fruit or tomatoes hung to dry which I thought was a good idea too.
    Peace and grace!

  3. What kind of results have you had? Do you have a problem with bugs or fruit flies?

Play nice - don't say things here that you wouldn't say to me or any other complete stranger in person. That doesn't mean you can't express a different opinion or experience but do it in a civil and respectful way.

Links to cute cat and garden pictures highly appreciated as are donations of homemade vegan sweets.

NO SEO spam or link building every time I mention "cinnamon." I will delete those comments.
