Post subject:	Small Compact Design for Climbing Plants
Looking at my existing Channels, there is too much wasted space to try and grow Climbing Plants so I'm trying to Design a System that works well for these Plants. I have added more Plants per Metre then normal Channel thinking that most of the Plant Bulk is above not down at the Channel position. Have also Designed a similar one with a Tank below to make it self contained. This way I could add different Fish to this rather then use my Pond Water.

It looks good. The only issue i can see is whether the middle and rear channel plants will get enough light. Perhaps if you make the top of the Tee`s telescopic, you could extend them outwards (front and back in the graphic) which would spread the support wires/netting etc further apart and open up the canopy as the plants grew bigger/taller.
