I took this idea off another forum (oops)
6 of us using 2 dustbins and wallpaper strippers, but it was taking forever to steam 6 nets, 2 at a time. Handy person made a large oblong box out of MDF with a lid with a rubber seal and a clip to close it. He put an entry hole in both sides, he then got some copper piping and made a grid at the bottom of the box with lots of little holes in to create a grid of steam jets, and then set a heavy wire mesh above the grid for the nets to sit on above the steam jets, we then "plugged" a wallpaper stripper in each side and it was large enough to steam 3 large haynets at a time - it is brilliant! The total materials (excluding the wallpaper strippers that we already had) came to less than £50 and we sited the box outside the barn and kept the strippers inside out of the rain etc as the pipes are long enough. If we only needed a single net steamed we just used the dustbins again............ and you can use a timer with the wallpaper stripper, so it can all be ready for you in the morning, Wallpaper strippers are about £30.00 and a timer £6.00, me I like to use a safety switch thingy in the yard.
