Abstract

The greenhouse is primarily made of transparent materials, such glass. A plant that needs carefully regulated climatic conditions is grown in the greenhouse. There is a catchment system, also known as a rainwater collection system, at a greenhouse system. The world's oldest way of supplying water is probably rainwater harvesting (RWH). The rain gutter is used as part of the catchment system to collect rainwater. The side of the roof structure is often where the rain gutter is installed. This is due to the fact that installing at the side of the roof is the best location to collect rainwater. This research aims is to design a new gutter a)holder on pipe structure frame using a Solidwoks software. A bracket known as a gutter holder is used to support the gutter drainage system. This gutter holder is the most popular piece of hardware for attaching the gutter to the roof fascia. Gutter holder giving the structural integrity of the building support, stability, and safety. Instead of being merely affixed to the roof, the rain gutter is supported by a gutter holder that is attached to it. An iron alloy that resists corrosion is called stainless steel. Stainless steel is a material that solves the corrosion issue with mild steel. Additionally, stainless steel is inert and environmentally safe, and its endurance ensures that it meets the needs of long-term construction. Additionally, it does not leach molecules that could cause corrosion when it comes into contact with substances like water. The six-design method was employed to create the new gutter holder specialist for the pipe frame structure in order to produce the finest design possible. To complete the fabrication for this project, seven key procedures must be followed: material inspection, material preparation, measuring and marking, cutting and drilling, visual and dimension inspection, final inspection, testing, and finally receiving the results. The gutter holder design results that was using a static analysis from solidworks simulation to get the results. For the design of gutter holders, static analysis was performed on two distinct materials, mild steel and stainless steel. The analyses included stress, strain, and a factor of safety. They can identify whether one component has a tight connection to material breakdown and are fundamentally stable. The parameters utilised to specify the failure criterion and behaviour of a material are stress, strain, and safety considerations.Stainless steel material has been chosen as the main material for the gutter holder. Last but not least, the research must be continued for further study to get more accurate result duirng operation.
