Kolozci (hay racks)
Studor, Slovenia
The kolozci structures of Slovenia are typically located on the edges of the village, near the fields that yield the hay and corn that are harvested. They are normally not aligned in order to maximize catching the winds that arrive from a variety of directions. The strongly latticed structure allows farming equipment and animals to have cover. The long timber members at the top of the opening are actually the bottom chords of trusses that allow form a narrow hay storage area free of the outside drying rails. (photo 1988)
