Kens' system

Ken and Diane had a patio that was not being used. It was ideal for a two bed system as it had clear roof sheeting allowing the sunlight to come through. It also prohibited leaves and debris from surrounding trees and bushland to enter the system.

The roofing can be used to capture rain through the winter and use this to top up the system through the summer months. Having the system under cover also protects the plants from the elements that can sometimes damage them.

Below are some pictures that were taken on the day of installation.
