I'm exploring cheaper ideas for drying wood. I've seen this talked about on a few places and wondered if anyone on here had tried it. Sounds great but way too good to be true!

Sure a sunny climate helps, is English summer time enough???

Sorry guys, my fault, try this.

 

 

 

Ok . Initially my first reaction was anything involving plastic means the wood will " sweat" and not get rid of its moisture . But .... I see what he is doing . He is making it sweat , collecting the moisture on the plastic and letting it run away underneath . So yea , like it . At the end of the day the moisture meter cant lie ......

If it works it works, cant argue with that mate,its just I,m thinking polothyne/sun = condensation and there doesn't seem to be any air holes.

Yea Steve . What I thought initially . If you think about the modern Barber type coats , with the drop liner , . I think the moisture is encouraged to form on the plastic and where it is open underneath it vents away to ground . What say you ?

Getting it now DOH, although it creates condensation it is drained away , the polothyne creates heat from the sun and dries the timber, I wish I,d gone to school now
