Description
Summary:A kozolec is a freestanding, open, wooden and always covered device for drying and storage. While wheat was formerly stored and dried in it, it is now only used for hay and other products, such as corn and maize straw. While a low kozolec is the most recent form, the double kozolec is the most characteristic, with the most derivatives in its design. There are thus two types of double kozolec: those above the river Sava and those below. Those above are slender, below are stocky. The essence of the erection of a kozolec is that it is longitudinal to the wind and transverse to the sun's rays. The most important element of construction of a kozolec is bound to a square and its diagonal. Insofar as the sides of a square equal one, its diagonal is the square root of two.
