The basic materials for a grow box are the same all around the world:
Covering-
-Panda Film
-Plywood painted flat white or covered in mylar
-Shower wallboard that is white and plasticized on the inside
Structure-
-2x4 lumber
-PVC pipe
-Existing cabinet or armoire
-Scrap wood
-Bamboo and twine (hahaha Gilligans Island grow tent)
Lightproofing-
-Thick tape
-Foam caulk
-Weatherstripping
-Black plastic
Fasteners:
-Drywall screws
-Staples
-Duct tape
-Chains and hooks
-Zip ties
Tools:
-Vise-grips
-Power drill
-Staple gun
-Caulking gun

Now just mix and match the parts to the fasteners and tools and you are all set!

Tell me your size limitations and how many plants you want to grow and I can email you all the info you need.

You forgot foam insulation panels! With a little duct tape, you've got a room!

Oh yeah, those things are awesome. Some glue and mylar to make them reflective, or white paint, then you can configure them like cubicle walls!

Are you sure that's actually mylar? If it's just foil, you might as well paint it white.

I can always paint it NEXT paycheck, but foil is the best 'as is' choice.
