Window frame vertical farming kit for small apartments

thingiverse

This is a project I have been working on for a while. In its essence, it is a net and frame for supporting plants for some small scale vertical farming in my apartment. The kit is made of two parts, the copper support frame/anchors and the net weaving tools required to make the net. For the copper frame you will need: 15mm copper tube (for plumbing), two lengths long enough for your window. 4 x printed round clip and rounclip2 Approx 6 anchors Braces modified and printed as needed A bag of 25mm diameter 3m double-sided foam pads The pads can be stuck to the anchors and the round clips and fixed to the window frame. The copper tube is then inserted and secured using the roundclip2 part. Add braces if you feel there will be a lot of weight on the frame, especially if the copper tube sections are long. For Weaving the net: Approx 60 Meters (200ft) of string or garden twine. If you have a big window it might be worth having more. The netting hook and the sizing board. 1 x anchor 1 x carabiner, any size. I followed this YouTuber on how to weave the netting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfTWgMTqGqY Note make sure you make the width correct before starting on the length otherwise, you might have to really stretch the net to get it to fit. The net hook can be scaled smaller for small nets and larger for big nets. The sizing board makes approx 10cm wide diamonds. Scale accordingly. The net once done can be looped through the copper pipes to form the secure netting for vertical farming.
