Nice thread ! I built the same tent ,but took it a few steps further . Mine is 4x4x7.5 . I used 2x2 wood , 4 mil black poly , and even insulated .I designed mine in panels. Each side is an individual framed finished panel , so that it may dismantled and storeed or relocated easily.Used corner braces to assemble it. Also recently split the bottom and top veg in the bottom flower up top.

Nice, yea the 2x4's work great on a bigger scale. Thats what we do in our garages and basements (not the pre-fab walls though) since they are inside no need for insulation for us. We like to have thing where we can break down and build up when necessary. You must have this sucker in a shed or sitting out?

Yeah I,m confined to the garage so I had to beef it up for temp control . It has been working great. Wish I could expand it .Where do u find black and white poly for 10 bucks ? I,m wanting to lose the mylar and go with all white walls .

Nice guide, not to be rude but the pictures are hella annoying with all the writing all over them.

Dude you inspired me.
I went, and buyed myself some planks, polyvinyls, tape, and velcroc.
and a 12'' fluorescent to use for veg.
But I must say.. your post is hell of a lot disorganized...
I mean, bundle it all, and edit your FIRST post, and put it in there?
make an updated list of material, pull your pictures together nicely... and make it so we can follow simple instruction step by step?
I plan to use this tent for an entire grow-up.
I don't know what the results will be, but tomorrow I'll post some pictures of what I've got
And of what I'll be able to do with it
Thanks for the starter, made me realise that it was more cheap than I thought.

Is the tent able to colapse when youre through using it? The main reason i think people invest in tents is so that between grows they can take it down and stash it somewhere else. If not then you may as well just do what others on here have done and adapt a cupboard. Seems like a lot of work to me for something which could be easier:
Buy old wardrobe on ebay= 20$ drill holes= 0$. Couple of hooks for light fitting. Job done
But plus rep anyway for taking time to explain this

He made it quite clear early on that the tent is easily taken down when not in use. That is why he used screws in corner braces..

Tommy my man, you may or may not be right haha.
It has been an icon on my desktop for about 4 or so months.
Sorry it has to be there, I hate to see my pictures on other peoples websites.
Great! Im happy to see people putting this design into use. I am going to edit when finished, I forgot to stick the memory back in the camera so now trying to figure away to retrieve them. The how to on the tent is missing if you haven't noticed lol!Dude you inspired me.

I love the guide. but I have a question: Could you do the same thing with PVC pipe for the same cost? Seems like if you rigged up a box like this one and used PVC pipe instead you could break it down and move it easily.
EDIT: If you're still thinking of doing a contest I'd be happy to enter with a PVC variant of your design.
