    Default DIY Scrog net help

    Hi guys,
    Trying to make a scrog screen for my 120x80cm tent.
    I found some cheap plastic mesh which seems perfect. Cut it to size, but it’s only 50cm wide, so I have to attach the other 30cm.

    Thought it would be easy enough with cable ties, but unless I put 2 or 3 on each square, they slide about and don’t fix properly.

    I was thinking maybe duct tape, but hoping someone has a better idea.

    Cheers

    Duct tape has a way of giving out in the type of environments we run when we're growing. Have you built a frame to attach that mesh to? That's what most guys do I think, when I made my scrog frame I used PVC pipe and drove whole bunch of screws all around the edge and then just ran the strings between the screws.

    Had a similar problem mate but the zip ties worked a treat when attached to the frame and I just placed them diagonally across the corners of the squares and onto the frame at the top.

    Hope it works out for ya mate

    Didn’t make a frame. I just thought I could attach all 4 corners directly to the tent tubes.
    Hmmmm, this is going to be more work than I anticipated.

    Hi mate, I’ve just built a Scrog net/frame. And I was going to use exactly same material your going to use... my OCD couldn’t deal with having a join in the middle I just built my frame from pvc pipe and bought a 120cm x 120cm Scrog net instead. Made my life so much easier.
    I think everything came to about a tenner
