Recycling Rain Water

Nowadays everywhere you turn, you will see the word "recycle". Recycling habit is rather new in Malaysia due to its awareness level which is still relatively low in comparison with other western countries.

Why not start the recycling habit from the simplest task which is recycling rain water. Rain water harvesting is the accumulating and storing of rainwater which later can be recycled for watering the garden, washing cars etc. With Malaysia's climate receives an average of 2409 mm (94.8 inches) of rainfall yearly, or an average of 201 mm (7.9 inches) monthly, anyone can easily start the habit.


Take the simplest method such as below to start your own rainwater harvesting. Begin with a suitable covered water barrel which is placed at the end of the house gutter system. Make sure that the barrel is out of the direct sunlight as sunlight will cause water algae. You may also install a fine wire mesh screen that filters out dry leaves and prevent mosquitoes breeding.

Don't forget to inspect and clean the barrel frequently.

Pergola

A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building, or serve as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions.

In Malaysia, pergola is mostly covered with polycarbonate materials. What we have designed and built for our customers so far as as the pictures below.

The beauty of the chosen pergola lies in its wood cut. The one in the picture below resembles traditional designs.

We share this website which elaborates Pergola in details.
