conduit into the holes
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONICS SYSTEM
Completing the Rack
Step 19
Fasten conduit cross
pieces with zip ties
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONICS SYSTEM
Getting the Gutter Ready
Step 20
Bore 3/4” drain hole
in gutter
End caps X2
Add drain fitting;
(may require PVC
glue)
Step 21
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONICS SYSTEM
Constructing the Drain
Place gutters (with caps)
perpendicular to return pipe
Step 22
Bore hole in 2” return pipe
to match gutter drainage
hole
Step 23
leveling
2”x4” (varied
size)
Place 2”x4” leveling piece
on opposite sump tank to
ensure draining gradient
Step 24
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONICS SYSTEM
Hanging the Towers
Hang the towers so
they drain into the
gutter
Step 25
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Running the Irrigation Line
Run 3/4” poly tubing into
sump
Step 26
Step 27
Place pump in bottom of
sump
Insert tubing in pump
Step 28
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Running the Irrigation Line
Run line across bottom 5’
board
Attach line with zip ties
Step 29
Step 30
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Running the Irrigation Line
Run line up adjacent 6’
board until connected to
conduit
Step 31
*Optional valve
placement
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Running the Irrigation Line
Step 32
Run irrigation line
along conduit and
turn it along the end
without kinking the
tubing
!
*Snake along the
conduit in a
serpentine pattern
ASSEMBLING A VERTICAL HYDROPONIC SYSTEM
Running the Irrigation Line
Step 33
Step 34
