It would depend on the space you have. You could make a new "closet" with OSB and 2X2's and screw it together so it can be taken down.

Do NOT BUY Mars hydro tents. Buy an Apollo Horticulture brand tent with the metal corner pieces they're incredibly solid for the price. The $40-60 you'd spend to DIY one isn't worth the trouble when you can just spend $100-170 for one with all the zippers and vent holes. They really are so nice to have. You won't regret buying an actual tent. But whatever you do, GET METAL CORNERS.

Are you guys hanging from your tents?

Ive hung cabon filter, two fans, two heavy lights and i still would hang onto it and lean on it hard with no problems .

I bought a second mars hydro tent., cant complain

I have everything hanging from the tent. 6" carbon filter, 6" fan, and sealed hood. I have a Vivosun 48" x 48" x 80" cost me $109. They say you can hang up to 110 lbs. That's way more weight than you would use in a 4 x 4 tent. They're all pretty much the same these days and made in China. They're all rather inexpensive. Doesn't make sense to DIY unless you already have everything you need and know how and have the time to put in all the vents and stuff.

Me too. My tent is built like a rock. ONLY issue is light leaks from the zipper areas, it’s faint but there. I don’t care about it becuase the tent is In A dark room anyway, even if I ran photos it wouldn’t affect me. Other than that it’s sturdy as fuck.
