hey guys I'm looking for some help! I'm panning to build individual scrogs for each of my sip pots 2.5 X 2.5ft would be a perfect size screen for me, was hoping to hold it up with a tomato cage! something similar to this...
as you can see buying them can be pricey bc of how many in going to need!
so I decided to build one, I'm having a lot of trouble finding the top screen, I went to 5 different stores today in search, only things I could that was similar was dog cages, and types of fencing, all of which would cost more to build then just buying them from ebay!
so I'm looking for ideas or anything that could give me the exact same results without breaking the bank! I did buy a few lengths of bamboo sticks, I considered using 4 to make the legs and 2 to make a square, that goes on top, then run a type of string to make the actually squares, but this seems like it won't be too sturdy and I'm not sold on the idea!
any help or input would be greatly appreciated!

All done but the crying is just an old saying. Lol. Basically the modern term would be "It is what it is". Nothing you can do now. It's a done deal. Dry and cure. See what's what.

We grabbed that exact kit from ebay when setting up a patient with his first ever grow, The metal they use in that kit is EXTREMElY heavy and solid, which worked great since it was just sitting on top of a 5 gallon DWC bucket with nothing holding it down.
The patient grew a GG4 clone for 2 weeks in veg then flipped in a tiny 3x3 tent and he pulled a hair over 4 zips of incredibly dense GG4 nuggets.
We decided, like you, that the scrog kit was quite expensive and after his harvest he's now in a 5x5 with a traditional net for scrog control.
Honestly he hasnt had a harvest like that lil 3x3 with this kit since then. haha,
IF you were just doing a one plant setup, i think its well worth it for the quality of the build. Like you discovered, there are plenty of similar options at your local hardware store, but your going to have to buy in bulk and many pieces and in the end you prob spent more than you wanted.....
So...for one plant, i say do it, for many plants in buckets without the ability to use a traditional net secured to walls or posts, Ive used upside down tomato cages and then tied bamboo stakes horizontally to make my own similar scrog kit , ofcourse it was less secure and not quite as helpful as the exact kit BUT def did the job.
hmmm....couldnt "like" your post....maybe i dont have enough posts myself, just been lurkin since like 2010 though haha

You should be able to make something out of PVC and string for under $10 and a half Hr of work

well that is good to know that they are worth it! and I could do just a normal 5x5 scrog I actually already have one made from pvc and string, it has worked great, but a big problem for getting to the girls in the back, I only have easy access to two sides of my tent, which is the entire reason for individual scrogs so I can pull an entire girl out if I need too!
I've also thought about different ways using a tomato cage and these bamboo, I just really can't land on an option that I really like, I might just have to suck it up and buy a few of those, or just try one of these diys!
also I'm not worried about the like buddy lol thanks for your input! I like that a lot more!

this is the 5x5 one I've made in the past, it did work but wasn't the greatest, and really hard to work with, I guess I could try and make smaller ones! it worth a shot! I really was just hoping I could buy the metal screen for cheap pre cut rdy to go, then I could zip tie it to a tomato cage and bam, 100 bucks make like 7 or 8 or them strudy as hell and very lil work! lol I can wish right!

Look at the welded wire fencing at tractor supply. You can getting rolls of the shit for pretty cheap, comes in different sizes.

I did today and the issue is, it's in rolls, I would have to figure out some kinda frame for around the edges, so it doesn't curl and bend, that was actually my first idea, I just don't see it working well with what I'm trying to do!

Yea ,that setup is prob your best bet for the dollars.
HAHA i think we had your exact thoughts, we were looking everywhere for simple metal screens like that but only found huge rolls and lots of work.
But if ya got the time and energy im sure you could pull it off.....The shipping is what makes it horrible, fukin almost 25 bucks and no way around that :/

yes that's actually perfect still expensive as shit tho, by the time I buy the tomato cages and zip ties, I might as well buy the already built one! but yes that's exactly what I'm looking for was hoping to find them for around 10 bucks or something!
