8x16 Rainwater Catchment Greenhouse

Last crawled date: 9 months, 2 weeks ago

This is a modified design from my rainwater catchment system. build the high side facing south, so we could put big windows covering the whole wall to create a greenhouse using transparent plastic roofing panels. The north, east, and west walls can be framed using strong pallets, clad in painted plywood. The inside of the pallets can be stuffed with straw for insulation. This 8x16 foot structure is designed to harvest rainwater and filter it before storing it in three 255 gallon water tanks. The rain water will flow off of one end of the shed style roof into a filtered gutter on the low end. That gutter's downspout is connected to PVC pipes that drain the water into the four containers for storage. The water will be used for agriculture irrigation. This structure is able to harvest and hold up to 765 gallons of water total. #catchment #farm #garden #greenhouse #nursery #rain #rainwater #water
