Started out in the A PLACE TO SAY HELLO portal, subject: Hello from Naples Florida and now need to move to the Backyard Systems.
Here is my second design, since a friend gave me an IBC so I redid my first design that I posted in the previous thread. Any advice is appreciated.
I already have the 3 10x10 EPDM liners bought on clearance. Will need to buy the 3/4 plywood and 2x4 and 2x6 framing material.
I went ahead and posted the framing design as well, but I need to make in more clear... perhaps I can post a better one in the next day or two. *** updated design already *** My goal is to make the beds and sump tank strong enough, without too much overkill.
Previously I mentioned that my location for the system is on the east side of my house, on a concrete strip that is @4x50. It holds my well system, water softener, and ac unit. This creates a little challenge, as I must work around these things.
After completing the system, I will use screen that roll up and down like a greenhouse to cut down on the bug eating my plants.

Here is a little clearer design. The sump tank and other growbed sizes will be framed the same way, just with different length boards.
Here is the cut layout for the EPDM and plywood. The EPDM will be folded in the corners. Will be using a 2x4 frame around the plywood boxes.
