This is where the pump house will be built. Ive now acquired all the hardware, so this will keep my busy during lock-down!
Not shown the wash pump or header tank as these will be in a raised position but proposed plan arrangement shown below

Bit of progress over the weekend, had to raid my timber store for some bits due to lock-down, hence the use of already stained bits. Just waiting for a delivery of more timber now.
I'll be putting double doors on the front, large enough to remove the drum filter if needed along with a further small hatch on the side so I can access return pumps / valves etc

Hey Wda
im concerned, how are you going to get all the filters in there and the grow on tank, think you need to make twice the size

How do you mean? That is the filter, all I need to install is return pumps and wash pump

Still at around 17C, know what you mean about getting the covers off though :D it will be really...
