These look to be about five bricks in height and maybe five bricks deep. Not near large enough to fit a flat mattress but I suppose you could roll a mattress up and it would fit. That would not induce much drying but it would save space.

This unit are for taking care of a matress as Lynne stated. I can see why you would think chickens and such but it isn't the case. The only way to gid rid of bed bugs is with extreme heat. A matress is put into the unit and the heat is turned up to kill the bed bugs in all stages of life. 120-125F) and 20-30% relative humidity for 20-30 minutes. The heat treatment provided no residual effect, so the matress was safe to sleep on without worry of chemicals.

The wire mesh at the top of the doors was to provide proper airflow for humidty and temp. control.

Hope that settles things.

The majority of this property has been sold to the town of Preston for $1.00. A developer has said its perfect for a suburban development. Keep up on the local on-line newspapers, theday.com and norwichbulletin.com for articles on what is happening with this site. Needs a lot of environmental cleanup, so it will probably be there for a while, but it looks like it is being targeted for demolition/development.
