A grain- drying rack is a freestanding vertical drying rack found chiefly in Europe. Grain-drying racks are permanent structures, primarily made of wood, upon which fodder for animals is dried, although their use is not limited to drying grain. Other food stuffs such as field maize are dried on them as well. Although it is a practical structure, a rack is often artistically designed and handcrafted and is regarded by Slovenes as a distinctive form of vernacular architecture that marks their identity.
