Plastic-Coated Slatted Floors Used In Potato ęCooler' Storage Building
se old plastic-coated slatted floors designed for hog confinement buildings in our potato ęcooler' storage building. We grow 15 tons of potatoes every year and put them in bags which we stack in the building. The slats help ventilate to keep them from rotting. Air is blown down through the building walls and then comes up under the floor and through the slats, which are 2 in. off the floor. It's a very simple idea but it works. The potato cooler building measures 20 ft. square. We also use these slats in two 50 by 100-ft. buildings that we use for meat storage."
