Awesome!

You could try growing tomato, pumpkin, etc vines up to the rafters in this to make a canopy of vegetables, with it being so nicely covered you'd have time to get them up there!

I personally wouldn't grow things on treated timber - if that's what it is. I'd also make sure there was no chance of water dripping from it into the tanks or grow-beds.

Rupe, one more sheet of iron to go on that side.
Yes VB it is treated pine & I tend to agree with you about not growing anything on it.
I have thought about using it to support trellis or the like from it.

Front & back walls was completed mid May.
Triangle at top of back wall & all corrugated iron on side walls are removable for summer ventilation.

Wow, that certainly looks VERY neat! And I love the wheelybin sump, the plumbing, even the colours (man, that'd look cool when those growbeds are full of veggies!). :)
