Screen door for onion drying

Since I have three rows of onions to pull and then they have to dry, I kept thinking how to accomplish this task.  In an out building at the farm, I found a couple of old screen doors, one still had screen wire attached.

I decided to drill a hole in each corner and attached an eye bolt.  I then attached four eye hooks in the rafter of a shed roof, attached four "S" hooks and four sections of chain and then hung the door horizontally.


Once that was accomplished I then pulled the onions and then loaded them on top of the screen.  This will allow the air to keep circulating around them to dry and cure.  Once cured this will allow the onions to last for several months.
