Okay so I bought carbon at walmart which comes in a tub as opposed to a bag. And im using a car filter, so I gotta cover the bottom and since i dont have the mesh what should i use?

Would a dryer sheet work?

they're pretty thin. Just go to homedepot. They sell tons of different breathable foam filters. For furnaces and such. Some are perfect, and just a little thicker and less prone to ripping than a dryer sheet.
I managed to find some window screen mesh at canadian tire that is perfect in everyway. It's really small spacing on the holes so the carbon can't go through but it still is not restrictive at all to the air moving through it. Im sure other stores carry it as well.

What are you making a box for ? is it to connect the ventilation to it, so you can move the air thru it ?

No just a stealth box. It have a fasination with a hiden look to things. My cars a sleeper, my speakers (all 16 of them) are integrated into things such as 2 speakers under the bed, one built into the book self, and so one. I like that sleek look.

I cant decide what to make the box out of though. =(

Sounds like you have the imagination to figure something out. Are you doing the whole grow box or just something for the filter ? We need to know what size you hidden box is going to be before we can get our minds in gear.
