DIY PVC Hydroponic System

Description

A homemade, multi-tiered hydroponic growing system constructed from white PVC pipes and fittings. Features multiple channels with holes for plants, likely designed for a Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) or similar hydroponic method. Includes a support frame made of the same materials. Appears suitable for growing leafy greens, herbs, or other small plants.

Appraisal Report

This appears to be a functional, custom-built DIY hydroponic system constructed from standard PVC pipes and fittings. The value is based primarily on the cost of materials (pipes, connectors) and the labor involved in its assembly. Its resale value is lower than a comparable new commercial system due to its DIY nature and used condition. The estimate assumes the system is structurally sound and does not include peripherals like a water pump, reservoir, or nutrient solutions unless specified. The wide range reflects unknowns about the build quality, specific materials used, and completeness of the system.
