Drying racks & frame - give away

I have this wood-framed unit that would be useful to dry fruits and vegetables.
The garage that I've stored it in for the past several years must be re-furbished, and I must get rid of this drying rack and frames.  I will be happy to give it to the someone who might put it to use. 



Here are pictures - it must be re-assembled. For drying, you would fill each tray with sliced fruit, tomatoes, apples, etc.




Cover the unit with black plastic in the sunlight, and place an electric fan underneath to blow air through the racks of trays.

There are eight trays.  Each is 30" x 4o" rectangle.  That's a lot of surface area!

I would be happy to assist in setting it up for use.

I live right in the center of Lafayette.
