Greetings again fellow growers,
Im making a cab that measures in at 3 ft x 3 ft x 7 ft or in Inches 40 " x 40 " x 80 "
I already have Panda Plastic & i need one of the following to wrap it up tomorrow.
PVC cab as done in this post : http://hydroponiceconomics.com/blog/grow-rooms-and-grow-boxes/indoor-grow-closet-create-grow-room
Using 32mm PVC piping or bigger, i cannot source 3 way corners for pvc pipes here :/
Or
Aluminium 3 way 90 degree corners
Only comes in 25mm, i will be using 25mm aluminum square tubing aswell. The corners and tubing are also available in round form.
End of the day im really not sure
with the pvc corners i need 8 T pieces & 8 Solid 90 degree bends & im not too sure how solid its going to be with a super sun 2 hanging from it. I would think that the aluminium would give a more solid form although its only 25cm, going for a 32mm or bigger pvc pipe also kind of wastes a lil reflection space.
Any advice will be appreciated. Many thanks fellow tokers, respect

| Pros | Cons |
| Cheaper | Corners arent flush with design |
| Easy to cut | more prone to come loose unless i secure it with something temporarily not glue. |
| Bigger sized piping for rigidity | more fittings to buy with design |

Only comes in 25mm, i will be using 25mm aluminum square tubing aswell. The corners and tubing are also available in round form.
| Pros | Cons |
| Easier to install | Little harder to cut |
| Rigid maybe.. its only 25mm? | Might not be rigid enough? |
| Less parts if rigid.. | little more expensive |
| Clip on design for security |

PVC is standard for building stuff over here. But an aluminium frame would have me jealous hehehehe. Shit if you can afford it, go for gold, nothing wrong with being proud of your kit. Yup, an aluminium frame, that is pretty cool indeed hehehehe...
