Submitted by cybe on April 20, 2006 - 13:17http://www.cleanpower.thesietch.org/projects/solarthermalpanel/index.htm The first thing we should do is cut our backing and our pond liner, when you are done you should have a 2 foot by 2 foot square of wood (1/4 inch thick) and two 2X2 foot pond liner squares, drill two 3/4" holes in the wood as shown. Cut the outside slats as well. As you can see the black pond lining sucks up all the light, making it look like some sort of black void in pictures, this is good because most of that sun goes towards heating your water. Next cut three of your 20 inch base board planks with a little notch in the end as shown, it doesn't matter how big you make your notch but try not to make it bigger than one third the length of the board.
