2. BUILDING HAIL/LEAVES
THE BUILDING HAIL HAPPENED AT THE END OF LAST
YEAR 2015. LEAVES AND BRANCHES FELL DOWN. THE
HAIL’S WATER LEAKED THROUGH THE BUILDING AND
INTO THE CLASSROOM. THE ROOF HAS NOW BEEN
FIXED SO THAT NO WATER CAN GO THROUGH.
EVERYDAY MANY LEAVES FROM THE EUCALYPTUS
TREE FALLS AND LANDS ON THE BUILDINGS. OUR
GROUP WERE THINKING OF BUYING A GUTTER FILTER
THAT SUCKS THE LEAF AND SHOOT IT UNDER THE
EUCALYPTUS TREE.
HERE IS A DIAGRAM OF THE BUILDING HAIL’S PROBLEM

4. WHAT SHOULD WE USE?
• WE SHOULD USE A FILTER (NOT A GUTTER CLEANER) THAT
SUCKS THE LEAVES OUT UNDER THE EUCALYPTUS TREE.
WE WERE GOING TO DECIDE ON ADDING A PIPE TO THE
FILTER AND POINT IT AT THE EUCALYPTUS TREE INSTEAD
BECAUSE IF IT JUST SHOOTS OUT, IT WILL GO
EVERYWHERE.
• HERE IS A ANOTHER DIAGRAM OF HOW THE FILTER
WORKS.

5. WITHOUT PIPE
WITH PIPE

6. PROBLEM
• AS YOU CAN SEE THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE LEAVES ARE
JAMMING THE GUTTER AND THE HAIL CRACKS THE ROOF.
THE ROOF HAD TO BE FIXED AND THERE WAS STILL ONE
MORE PROBLEM WHICH WAS THE GUTTER. THE GUTTER
NEEDED FIXING BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT A ROOF
JAMMED WITH LEAVES.

7. WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE IN THE
FUTURE?
• IN THE FUTURE IT WILL LOOK LIKE A CLEAN BUILDING
THAT HAS A FEW LEAVES IN THE GUTTER. THE GUTTER
MIGHT BE LEFT WITH A FEW LEAVES BUT IT’S BETTER
THAN HAVING HUNDREDS OF LEAVES JAMMED IN THE
GUTTER. IF IT HAILS OR THE RAIN FALLS HARD, THE ROOF
WON’T CRACK AND THE GUTTER WILL BE CLEAN FROM
THE FILTER.

8. WHAT DOES THE FILTER LOOK
LIKE?
Sucks in
Shoots
out

10. Pros Cons
• Make gutters more safe
• Make gutters more
clean.
• Solved the dirty
problem.
• Helps the eucalyptus
tree grow.
• Doesn’t visually look good.
• Too expensive.
• Don’t know how long it will
take to install.
• A lot of wires.

11. SOLUTION
• THE GUTTER GUARD STOPS THE LEAVES AND THE WATER
DROPS THROUGH THE LEAVES. THE WATER CAN BE USED
FOR THE EUCALYPTUS TREE BY CONNECTING A PIPE TO
THE GUTTER SO THAT THE EUCALYPTUS TREE DOESN’T
ABSORB THE GRASS’ WATER. THE LEAF FILTER WILL SUCK
THE LEAVES AND SHOOT IT UNDER THE EUCALYPTUS
TREE.
• HERE IS A DIAGRAM OF THE SOLUTION.

13. As you can see the Eucalyptus tree is also
absorbing a lot of water. We can use the
water from the gutter and point it at the tree
so that the grass area can grow and turn
more green.

14. ELECTRICITY
• IF YOU’RE THINKING THAT THE FILTER WILL WASTE
MONEY, THINK AGAIN. YOU CAN SWITCH IT ON OR OFF.
WHY WOULD LEAVE THE FILTER 24/7? THIS WILL SAVE THE
SCHOOL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
IF YOU’RE THINKING THAT USING THE GUTTER CLEANER
WILL BE BETTER BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT WASTING ANY
MONEY, THINK AGAIN. FIRSTLY YOU’RE WASTING YOUR
TIME, YOU’RE WASTING YOUR ENERGY AND IT TAKES
TIME. THE FILTER WILL HAVE A STRONG SUCTION POWER
THAT SUCK THE LEAF AND SHOOT IT OUT.
