Use 2x4s to build a frame and wrap it in panda film. It is then easy to add in more 2x4s if you need to attach fans or anything else.

pvc pipe may be cheaper by the foot, i am unsure, but 2x4s are significantly stronger. Additionally, it is much harder to attach things to the pvc pipe. Fan setups often come with brackets that are made to be screwed into something (like a 2x4), no sort of hose clamp type thing for attaching to pvc.Hanging your lights off a 2x4 is also less stressful, what if you bump into/catch yourself on your lights while they are hanging from a pvc pipe and break the pipe?
Panda film is black and white mylar type plastic stuff, you should be able to find it at any grow shop. Sourcing it locally is best, as the shipping costs on panda film go up quickly.

Your welcome. How is your tent doing with light leaks, have you checked? When i have used tents I have had to deal with issues of light leaks around air intake flaps and venting holes.

I used PVC for my temp. build-a-tent, and as long as you dont try to span long lengths without a cross support, its easier, and WAY cheaper, not to mention easier to move if needed.
You will have less weight capacity to hang things from it, but if ur hanging something that heavy, you arent building ur own pvc/panda tent, right? Get the wall zippers and when u apply it, cut the opening (after u unzip @ install) cut the opening off-center! Keep spare vent ducting so u can add bends n length to prevent light leaks....
In the end, I used the panda film to line my closet, and a 6" hole saw to vent the closet itself.... works great.
