darn I can't remember who had the pics on here, but I was looking at a cool journal recently where someone had taken the dog kennel they use for their large breed dog, and put their plants in it with the light sitting on top, then he just put a sheet over the whole thing. I think he was going to use the top of the mesh kennel when the plants got big as a SCROG screen and just raise the light. Looked like it would work pretty well.
I like your pic though, if you can build it, you would have the first mobile pot garden I ever saw.

I think it's brilliant. Imagine using it outside...Where I live, fairly secluded, I still get one helicopter fly-by every August. Soon as I hear the whop-whop-whop, I could toss a black tarp over it...and from the air it would look like a lawn mower or grill covered up. Plus, I could roll it around the yard as the sun moves. Thanks!

Sorry but bad idea for a couple of reasons. First the holes are too small for a scrog, use at least 2" by 2" holes. Second the metal grid can get hot. I've always used string, it's thin, lets light thru and doesn't retain the heat like metal does. Good luck and I did like the out of the box thinking...

I bought a big roll of the green plastic stuff at Lowes for about $10 (as I recall and sometimes I don't recall very well). That and $5 worth of PVC and fittings and... voila! I agree with TNG that metal is going to get hot .
TurkeyNeck posted a thread recently about his homemade screen and it turned out real nice. I'll see if I can find it.

i hope (for my sake) you are wrong about that.
