Between an AC and a DH you have about 90 lbs of weight, and for best effectiveness they need to be elevated. I'm sure there is a way to support that much weight with PVC, but I don't see a good reason to risk one of those tubes cracking and a 50 lb D/H falling on the plants. Also I'd rather hang my lights from 2x4s than on relatively long horizontal PVC tubes (unless theyre the really thick/expensive tubes). As far as breaking it down quickly, it doesn't take that much time to unscrew 20-30 deck screws, which is all you need. I"ve broken those rooms down in a matter of a couple hours before. Also wood is much cheaper than the PVC that would be strong enough for all this. I mean there's no doubt that you could construct one of these rooms with PVC, but it would be expensive. Wood also has the nice benefit of being able to painlessly mount instruments on it and add onto it with the pull of my drill trigger.

But to each his own. :thumbsup:
I build everything out of wood too, but then I have the tools and the expertise to do so. Building a wood frame is easy for some, impossible for others. Almost any idiot can piece together pvc.
