Here is the link to the different plans for building you solar dehydrators. If anyone has any questions, let me know. If anyone is interested in getting some stainless steel screen we could share an order?

SS mesh

After seeing the dehydrator you built I am interested in building one sometime this month. Is the stainless mesh something that can be bought locally and approximately how much will it cost?

I will do some checking

I will do some checking locally to see if we can get some ss screen. The screen that i have found on the internet is rather expensive. 5 bucks a square foot is a bit too much for me. I will let you know what i find and maybe you will find something also.
