This is something I just built when I was bored. It only cost me $60.00
Material List
9 Pieces - 2"x4"x8' KD
36 Pieces - 2.5" Wood Screws
1 Roll of Black Poly
1 Rol of White Poly
6 Rolls 450" Double Sided Tape
1 Old Shower Rod for holding up Light.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Assembly Directions
Cut four pieces of 2"x4" to 78".
Cut ten pieces of 2"x4" to 48"
Simply assemble four 4' pieces together to form a 4' square. Do this twice. Make both sections identical.
Assemble upright 78" pieces and tie together both square sections.
Use the remaining two 4' pieces as cross members for support and for holding the light up.
When assembled it should look like this.
Next thing is to tape up the edges of all three sides, as well as the top "roof" with double sided tape. This stuff works like a charm. Rub your finger over the poly and tape until you get a good bond. The black poly is applied to the outside of the wood frame while the white poly is taped tp the inside framing.
I don't have updated pics with the white poly installed but it serves as a great reflector.
You can get this stuff nice and tight. See how the roof looks so rigid. All I did was stretch the poly and stick it good!
The poly is ALMOST a complete light blocker. I used a sheet to seperate it from the veggin/clonin chamber next door. This takes care of any escaping light. I also have a temporary sheet that goes over the front but I only use that when I know I will be home when the light goes on.
It's important to lay poly down on the ground. I found this makes for super easy clean ups. I've got more than enough room for another light if I wanted and could grow a 5.5' monster in there! The other big advantage is I can rip it apart in about five minutes. Well hope this can help anyone out there on a budget. I've got the CUP coming up so $$$ was a huge issue! Enjoy. Later OH
