Very clever.

Have you ever used it for fruit...like peaches? or apples?

When the juice seeps through to the bottom how do you clean it?

Can you leave it outside year round?

Do you keep it propped open when used as a dehydrator?

Thanks in advance for answering these questions.

We have used it for tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Haven't done fruit with it.
We do leave it outside year round.
All the venting is on the bottom, so usually do not leave it open. If the temps get really high you can leave it slightly vented.

Thanks!

It looks fairly simple. I think we could make one but our fruit trees are full this year so I would try it for peaches and cherries.
