I would have some serious concern about the stability of the system from a force directed against the end of the beds (some one falling into the bed or hitting with a cart can knock over the bed. No buttressing support.
As with anything there is always a risk, so your analysis cannot be ignored so thanks for your input. This system of support has been tried and tested by someone else for over 2 years and hence why we took the same route. Once the beds are filled with 2.5 tons of sand and some water, it becomes very stable and will require huge force for someone/something to knock it sideways. Of course, common sense should prevail by staff manning the system to ensure safety is paramount and to not allow children or others to play around or below the growbeds. Others building a similar system can add buttress support to their liking and peace of mind.
Another great video. You could gain a bit of extra space by getting rid of the drainage tube, you could simply use a kitchen plug, or a flange outlet, covered with shadecloth :)
Thank you for the positive feedback and for the tip, makes sense. Still learning as we go along. So far been lucky with some of our estimates as it floods and drains perfectly as per suggestions on the IAVS group.
@@MyAquaponics1 Do you recall what thickness the poly grow beds are? Do they support the weight of the wet sand well? Do the besser blocks provide enough support and remain level?
@@iAVs-Sandponics Hi, our fiberglass grow beds average around 4-5mm thickness. So far no hassles with support of the sand and water. The blocks are also doing their job and remaining level. Keep in mind that we are in a greenhouse tunnel, so protected from rain. The ground remains dry and stable as a result
Hi, yes it has proven to be profitable in large commercial production. The leaders in this are based in Egypt and really doing well growing a variety of crops.. You can find some of their operations on TH-cam.
Hi, we are the suppliers www.myaquaponics.co.za Unfortunately teh factory that was making it for us has closed down, so we are looking at an alternative manufacturer.

Parabéns 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Great details and nice job Sir,
I have a question, Is it profitable in large production?(comercial) then aquaponic ?
Hi, yes it has proven to be profitable in large commercial production. The leaders in this are based in Egypt and really doing well growing a variety of crops.. You can find some of their operations on TH-cam.
@@MyAquaponics1 thanks for clarifying this,
