Stand with sun-protecting net

This is my newly desighned and built stand with sun protecting net.
There is a possibility of adding a second floor later on.
I will also be using an automatic watering and misting system.
Please guys tell me what you think and every suggestion and critic is welcome!
Vacations are coming fast!!!

Thanks
Fanis

From what i could make out your trees look very good and worthy of your structure.

As far as the automatic watering system, I have a drips work system and it works well, but I don't count on it 100% of the time. Hand watering is prefered, but during vacations it comes in handy. I always have a neighbor check on things anyway, gremlins have been known to raise cane now and again. Jon

I will only be using this system for a couple of weeks and i hope everything will go smooth. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Thanks Fanis __________________ Wisdom begins in wonder. - Socrates
