I can upgrade the shelter

Chen Xin was still a bit hesitant about the tray design. Although it was supposed to be drawer-style, it would still essentially be a large tray. Should the bottom of the tray be made of airtight iron sheets, or should it be made of breathable mesh?

Chen Xin looked at the design drawing he had sketched and fell into hesitation.

The entire cabinet design wasn’t difficult; it could simply be made into a four-legged standing cabinet. As for the bottom, just placing a blower to blow hot air upward would already be a perfect design.

The challenge for Chen Xin was the design of the tray used for holding the rice grains inside the cabinet. He had difficulty deciding on what structure to use.

In the whole cabinet, Chen Xin planned to place about twelve layers of trays so that more rice grains could be dried at once while ensuring ventilation. With three bags of over two hundred pounds of rice, it would take about four or five batches to dry everything.

But the question was whether to use iron trays or mesh trays?

Iron trays have better load-bearing capacity and can hold more rice grains. With mesh, the load capacity isn’t as good, and it clearly would hold fewer rice grains, which might mean more work for him.

Moreover, the iron tray structure is quite simple and relatively easy to make; just cut a piece of iron sheet and fold the edges to finish.

With mesh, however, you first have to make the frame and then secure the mesh, not just by nailing a few nails, but by using a pressure strip to tightly press the four sides so it won’t fall apart.

The main issue is that the mesh isn’t very durable; even wire mesh can unravel if it frequently bears weight.
