Hey everybody,
More or less new to the threads, and I finally went by Lowe's to pick up some materials for my very first grow.
The box I'm building is 16"x18"x30", so needless to say it is quite small, as it will end up camoflauged in my closet.
Materials were
1) less than 1/2" in width "underlayment" ply board, came in 4'x9' I believe. Lowes cut it up for me.
a bunch of 90 angle metal brackets
nuts and bolts.
pencil, drill, appropriate dill bit, pliers, screwdriver
So far I have all but 1 wall on, and I need to devise a way to make the other wall slide out. It would preferably lock in place, and be able to slide all the way off. Suggestions greatly appreciated. (I bought hinges and stuff, but I will prob take them back, it would be a lot easier if the door slid off, you'll see in the pics.)
Here's the space I'm working with
Here's the outside of box
Inside
closeup of brackets
This is what it looks like in it's place, with my shit around it.
If you're wondering why I chose to go with the brackets, using 1/2" particleboard would take up a whole inch of space (2 walls) in either direction, and with such a small area, I thought this was my best option.
I have a pretty good plan to make it not look like a suspicious wooden box in my closet, so more to come.
If all goes as planned, I will keep this updated when I paint and run electrics, lights, fans, set up my hydro/fog setup etc etc.
Questions, comments, whatever welcome. Wish me luck!
