Wood Drying Kilns DIY
Our DIY dryer system can be easily adapted to suit many drying scenarios.
Both 40' and 20' containers are suitable with different door opening locations, rear and side.
Connecting a hot air dryer to a container couldn't be simpler by cutting circular holes for the hot air to enter the container above the dryer. A large rectangular hole at the bottom to duct the cooled air back through the dryer creates the option of recirculation.
Add an exit for the hot heated water-laden air at the far end, and you have a drier.
