polytunnel

[borderfirewood]

I need to kiln dry some of my wood to supply a petrol station that wont take anything else, what is the best and cheapest way of doing this, i will need to state on the bags that it has been kiln dryied, would a polytunnel do the job.

[slack ma girdle]

Have they specified what type of kiln is to be used ?

What MC is the garage calling Kiln Dried?

 

Putting logs in a tunnel does speed up the process but its not a Kiln...

No, as long as i have bags printed with kiln dried on them.

At the moment they have a supplie in plastic bags from a large local supplier, but they are charging £3.50 a bag to the petrol station.

 

I was told that a polytunnel classes as a solar kiln, is this correct.

Once you have an answer I would be interested in finding out more about your trailer. As all my sales this winter have been in cu m bags I am thinking of an IFW tiltbed with a tall tailgate

Load it from the sides, then lift the body and roll the pallet off much like i am now with my GD85. Bit long to get in some places I suppose but as I get busier I can load 4 pallets instead of 2. That would have been handy this week, has 2 drops 100 yards apart 10 miles away wanting 3 bags between them, that is increasingly likely to happen.

I have a 50 barrow bags too.

I have got a timber grab for my 10 tonner now so just have to fit it a do the bolsters, when i get a chance lol.

So long as its designed properly. ie proper ventilation and moisture extraction.

 

If you used a standard polytunnel with doors on your likely to end up with wet mouldy wood.
