My wife and I have a property in Isaan,which is currently being renovated and extended,prior to our relocation.

We have used this system successfully here for many years, with total success. As I am unable to locate any similar products on line in Thailand,I have two trains of thought. One being to bring in our removal container ,sufficient product for our own use.The second option would be to import bulk quantities, under the FREE TRADE AGREEMENT between our counrties,and set up a marketing network,perhaps with some of the Thai Trading Groups.

The attachments will give a general picture of what is available. It is well worth noting that all the attaching components, corners, downpipes, connectors are available,and the guttering itself comes in 3 different profiles.

From research I have done in Thailand, the availability of large PLASTIC storage TANKS seems to be a major problem. Here it is very common for a property to have one or more 5000 litre tanks. I have only found small ones in Isaan, some stainless and others Plastic but perhaps 500 litres.The tanks would be very costly to import,could they be made in Thailand. To me there seems to be a HUGE POTENTIAL

The question I am asking is. 1. Can anyone advise a Thai supplier for these items.

2. Would there be any interest from other people who may require such a system

3. Any ideas of a Network Group who may like to distribute a range.

Your comments would be appreciated.

It looks like a good idea.

Even better if you could have it made here

MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE A PART OF THE BUILDING FORUM PLEASE.. HOW DO I SHIFT IT. ttl :)

We had a similar system made from aluminum, and large clay jars to collect the water.

The problem is the number of pigeons on the roof, the resulting bird droppings, feathers, etc

contaminate the water, I have had dead birds blocking the down pipes.

You will have to factor in the danger of bird flu?
