When standard products don't fit your project brief, our in-house CNC machine cuts wicking cells and polyethylene sheeting to any shape or dimension — and our technical team designs bespoke systems tailored to your site.
WaterUps operates its own CNC machine, allowing us to cut both wicking cells and polyethylene liner sheeting to any shape or dimension required by your project. This means no project is too complex or non-standard — we fabricate to your exact specifications.
WaterUps® wicking cells are precision-cut using our in-house CNC machine to match the exact geometry of your planting bed, planter, or tree pit. Any shape — circular, triangular, L-shaped, or irregular — can be accommodated. Cells are cut from our standard polypropylene stock and fitted together seamlessly to maximise reservoir coverage.
Our CNC machine also cuts polyethylene sheeting to precise dimensions and shapes. This is used in conjunction with WaterUps' clip in feet and inlet pipes to support custom designs for in-ground installations, retrofit projects, and non-standard planter geometries where our cells won't fit. Sheeting is cut to your supplied CAD drawings or site measurements.
From a single tree reservoir to 100+ cells laid across a curved indoor garden — our CNC fabrication capability makes any geometry possible.
