Reaf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Everyone As promised i got a bit of time today to do i DIY on the individual scrog pots i make. I will not go into measurements as they can be adjusted to suit anyones needs , i personally have 420 x 420 screens lolThey say necessity is the mother of all good ideas , i am limited for height were i flower and limited in working area so i always though i would not be able to scrog as i need to move my pots around . i also grow perpetually and like to grow many different strains.All of these things were a roadblock in my quest to scrog . I had to come up with a design that was cheap easy to make , durable and could be moved around. Wood was out as it attacks mould and fungi unless really well sealed. I also didnt like the idea of a steel mesh as it wouldnt last and may rust.I started to play around with pvc pipe and this is where i got to i hope you guys enjoy Tools Needed:Drill4mm Drill Bit20m 2.5mm Lacing TwineSaw20mm straight pvc jointspvc pipe benderscrews2 x 20mm lengths pvc pipemeasuring tapeif you do not have a pipe bender you can substitute the bends with store bought 90 degree elbowsI like to use this type of screw as it works well Step 1:-Cut the desired length of pipe eg. if i want a 420 x 420 screen you would want to cut the length to 1.8m-mark the middle and make your first bend Step 2:-Mark the desired length for next bend eg for me i want it 420mm , i would measure 400mm taking into account the extra 20mm from the width of the pipe-Make the bend Step 3:By this point your pipe should be looking like this-Repeat step 2 to create your next bend Step 4:Your pipe should now be looking like this-Once again repeat step 2 to create the last bend Step 5:Your pipe should now be looking like this-Cut pipe down to correct size and use a coupler to connect the 2 sides Step 6:-Mark a piece of wood to create a template to make the holes-Place the frame on the template and mark the holes Step 7:-Drill Holes Step 8:-Thread the twine through the holesdon't cut the twine, start by threading through on one end and just unroll as you need , we will cut at the end to not waste any-the twine must be in an under over configuration as it holds together better-Tighten up the screen and tie off Step 9:I keep all my screens at the same height but pot height differs so my leg sizes differ-measure and cut legs-squash the ends of the pipe in a vice or heat up and flatten Step 10:-Screw legs onto frame Step 11-Fasten frame to pot DONE Hope you guys enjoyed it and if i can make one persons life easier i am happyCheers Reaf 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
