Looking at that one showed a link to this below... http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/rockhamp ... 1003756890

Dunno if I would have really called it a commercial system, still.. No photos of it with any decent plants in it.. And those growbeds look like they have seen better days..

10 grand could buy you two of our Backyard systems brand new, 6 beds, galv stands, expanded clay, etc, etc...

They're not Murray's fibreglass beds are they???

Whatever they are... they've beaten them around... or the summer temps have got to them pretty badly...

Free bricks - looks like they will make some good bases for growbed stands:

looks to me like they didn't support them properly and they caved in the middle... that would cause the long sides to bend in half like that. Hence the jack trying desperately to hold it up.

I put my growbeds on 4 sleepers for this very reason, and on a very solid stand. both long edges are fully supported, as well as nearly all the middle. The sleepers are supported both on the ends and in the middle as well. i'm didnt want to have to try and bodge something in later when it broke.

Some free Hydroponics Equipment:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth-re ... 1006634944

Not sure if it could be used to expand someones AP system but thought I would post any way.

Also - possible free IBC - not sure of condition:
