Greenhouse CAD

One of the most pivotal aspects of the project, since implementation of the rainwater catchment and irrigation system by us will not occur, is creating CAD files to showcase our proposal. These files need to accomplish everything that the physical system would have. Most importantly, they need to show exactly what the system will do to convince the necessary people to fund the project. Here are some screenshots of the finished greenhouse, rainwater catchment, and irrigation system.

Front of the Greenhouse

Here is a front view of the greenhouse. You can see the proposed locations for the plant beds, the gutters on the side of the greenhouse, and the irrigation pipes on the inside.

Back of the Greenhouse

This shows the back of the greenhouse. The rain barrel is represented in red with the pump for the irrigation system beside it. It also shows how the gutters feed into the rain barrel.

Side Views of the Greenhouse

These show the sides of the greenhouse. The gutters run the entire length of the greenhouse, near the middle of the wall, to maximize rainwater catchment.

Top View of the Greenhouse

This is a top view of the greenhouse. It clearly shows the proposed layout of the plant beds. Also, it shows the orientation of the irrigation pipes above the plant beds.
