Purchase raw material for brick-making

Hello Joshi.
Yes you are right, sunlight makes the plastic becomes brittle so easily torn plus the combination of rain that often goes down.
The weather in Indonesia is currently very difficult to predict even this year we have a fairly long rainy season, when the dry season is sometimes still rain.
When it rains sometimes accompanied by strong winds that make this plastic cover opened, this can give a considerable loss because the raw bricks that are exposed to rain will crumble when burned so it can not be sold to consumers.
The price of a set of plastic covers is about $ 10, this can only cover 1 or 2 rows of bricks that are being dried.
Cover and uncover process done every day, because as I mentioned above, the weather in Indonesia is very difficult to predict, the rainy season is very long and the rain can go down suddenly even in the dry season.
We can not possibly not open this cover for up to 1 week because this will greatly affect the process of draining raw bricks, in order to burn and produce strong bricks then the raw bricks must be perfectly dry, if it is too wet or even too dry then the bricks will crumble when burned (easily broken).

This drying process takes about 3 days when the weather is nice, but it can take a long time when the rainy season so affect the burning schedule and distribution of bricks to consumers.

Until now I still think about the kind of cover and how to cover the better bricks.
Thank you

Vegetable farming

Recently we experienced floods in Kenya. Little did I know that that it would affect my horticulture agribusiness. First, heavy winds blew away my two greenhouses then the whole was flooded. All my ripe tomatoes were washed away in one night!!!! My two workers were injured but are now out of danger. I'm still shaken to the core! Am thinking of my next step. I haven't paid my instalments amounting to 14,000sh. I really need thoughts and ideas on how to stand again. Meanwhile, am requesting my lenders to bear with me as I look for ways to restart my venture and repair the huge damage caused by the rains. Thank you for your continued support. Moses Makokha

Purchase raw material for brick-making

Hello Joshi.
Thank you very much for your suggestion and loan support.
I will try to discuss your suggestions with my employees, your idea is very brilliant because this will make the plastic more durable from damage due to friction between the plastic with the brick.
But one thing that can not be avoided is the age or endurance of the plastic, because however the longer the plastic will get easier fragile (age factor, often exposed to heat and rain because Indonesia is a tropical country).
For now, a set of plastic covers can usually last up to a maximum of 3-4 months before being replaced with new plastic.
1 set of plastic can be used for 2 rows of bricks (as in the picture below). until now I still have not found an alternative cover of bricks other than plastic, which has a longer durability and more practical.
I am very interested in discussing with other Zidisha members (from Indonesia or other countries) who have similar business so that they can share knowledge and experience in managing brick business, or maybe you have alternative suggestion of brick cover besides plastic?
