IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER BUILD A RAINWATER TERRACE®
MORE THAN 3 CONTAINERS HIGH
The only tools you will need are for fixing the wall bracket to your wall and fitting
the Diverter kit and drain outlet tube. See instructions later.
There is also a YouTube video you can watch :-

How your Rainwater Terrace® works
When it rains the optional Rainwater Diverter (1)
collects water from the downpipe and starts to fill
the top container (2) through the inlet tube (3).
The level of water is visible in the Drain-tube (4)
and when it is full the water will overflow down
the central tube (5) and onto a Planter Tray (6)
where it can be used by the Planters (7).
When that Planter Tray is full it overflows into the
next container (8) and when that is full water
overflows onto the next Planter Tray (9).
Eventually the bottom container (10) is filled and
any excess is collected by the plinth (11) and
returned back to the drain through the Outlet
Tube(12).
Every time it rains sufficiently water flows through
the whole system so minimising stagnant water.
Water can be drained from each container
independently through its own Drain-tube. These
each have a built-in tap that allows very rapid
filling of watering cans or buckets.
The top and side planters are provided with
special Capillary mats that draw up water from the
planter trays and feed your plants from the
bottom.
