Backyard Aquaponics

Okay FT IBC Has to stay above ground as does everything else.
As in a previous post I grabbed a pallet of foam panels from Adelaide, but haw to mount them around the IBC and then put bamboo blinds around the outside.

This is only temporary and hopefully in 12-18 months time moving to our own home where we can bury etc etc.

Apart from a nagging wife I'am about to throw the whole idea away.

Try strapping the foam around the IBC. Then attach the blinds to the foam.

To fix polystyrene sheets to mine I pre-drilled some pilot holes through the sheets into the frame. Then ran a self tapping roofing screw into the holes to cut a thread.
After cutting all the threads I had to shorten the screws used to fix it, I'd used them since they had washers to support the sheets. I was planning on gluing them on too but got lazy and also wanted to be able to remove them when the system is eventually moved. Beware puncturing the IBC tank/bladder when drilling though.
