from www.diyjerky.com
Things you need:
- One box fan. It's a square 20" x 20" x 4" fan found at Wal-Mart for $6-10
A roll of MAT Poultry Netting, PVC Model 308452DPT Price: $14.66/ea. This is basically chicken wire covered in plastic and is found at Home Depot.
- The wood frames will be constructed using four eight foot lengths (1 3/8" x 1 3/8" x 8') cedar with a ¾" groove cut down the middle I found this in the fencing isle at Home Depot and I believe it is used for capping off fence panels, however, for our use it works perfect. They are labeled as 2x2 Arch Cedar Lattice Cap/H.D. and sell for $5.75 each.
- Two ¼" threaded rods the length depends on how many drying levels you want to add basically 4" (fan) + 1" for each layer + some extra for adding on later mine are 15".
- Two ¼" cap nuts.
- Two ¼" wing tip nuts.
- Six ¼" wide washers big enough that it won’t slip through the fan grill.
- Wood glue
- Sixteen finishing nails about 1 ½"
- Two 1" spacers these look like a nut but it’s 1" long
