Abstract
A farming system for use in water-based farming of a product includes a structural frame arranged to define a farming cell. The structural frame includes a first edge member, a second edge member vertically offset from the first edge member, a third edge member extending between the first edge member and the second edge member, and a fourth edge member offset from the third edge member and extending between the first edge member and the second edge member. The first edge member, the second edge member, the third edge member, and the fourth edge member, cooperate to define a first wall perimeter. The farming system also includes a plurality of cable assemblies coupled to the first edge member. Each cable assembly includes a cable having a first end and a second end with the second end fixedly attached to the second edge member. A cable tensioner is coupled to the first edge member and the first end of the cable, and a sensor is coupled to the cable and operable to measure a tension level of the cable. The farming system also includes a controller operable to receive a signal indicative of the tension level of each cable from each sensor and to operate each of the cable tensioners in response to the associated tension level to maintain the tension level of each associated cable within a desired range.
