So, I don't have much experience with on floor drying but am growing some seed this year so might need something.
Does it all fasten together with the louvered sheets on top .
Can you drive on it to empty.
How are the edges sealed and how do you get air under it ?
Thanks S.

Evening
Was welded together, have only cut joining straps to remove,
Used in grain bins with air blown from tunnel below floor
Sealed around edges with pop riveted folded light angle
In my opinion would not be able to drive over the floor

so i assume a square bin, if there is 600 sq ft then there is 12 of the units shown and enough drying mesh to cover approx 18-20 sheets.
What would you suggest to get air under the floor, we have a big simplex fan which should boss the job, with some sort of maifold along one side and would a space heater do for heat ?
Thanks S

Morning
Yes Correct 12 sections
18 sheets of 8 x 4 = 576sqft
9 plus sheets of 8 x 2 = 146 sq ft
Yes your idea of fan etc should be okay
