Renter Guidelines for 2024
The 48 hour rental period begins at 6pm the day prior to the two-day calendar event, and ends at 6pm on the second day of your reservation. For example, if you reserve the press for Sept. 28-29, you may pick up the press after 6pm on Sept. 27th, and must return it by Sept. 29th at 6pm.
You must return it clean, and will all its components. List of components and instructions are below.
You will either pick it up from the Fox Hole shed, or get the last renter’s contact information in order to make an easy exchange. Renters will need to sign a liability waiver before picking up the press, either in-person or electronically.
Make sure you have all the parts(shredder, apple press, two buckets, funnel, stave ring and ring bag, wood press plate, aluminum press plate bearing, wood turning bar).
Have a family member or friend with you to help move the equipment
Please make sure that the equipment isn’t left unattended for extended periods of time.
