Chicken wire (2")
Cable ties
Drill bit
Electrical tape
Sharpie


Using the sharpie, make a line around the exterior of the rubbermaid at the same height all the way around where you want your screen to be positioned inside the box.

Using a drill bit only slightly larger than the thickness of the cable ties, drill holes around the entire box at the height of the line.

Turn your box upside down and lay it on the chicken wire.

Again, using the sharpie, trace the shape of the box onto the chicken wire.

Cut out slightly smaller than your tracing. (Alternatively you could make a teplate out of cardboard first then trace it onto the chcken wire)

Take the cable ties and string them into the holes from outside to in.

Insert your cut chicken wire into the box and secure with the cable tie.

Follow all the way around the box using the cable ties to secure the screen in it's position.

Using the electrical tape, cover all the holes around the outside to create a light proof box.

You should now have a screen that is inside the box, suspended by cable ties with the holes blacked out with electrical tape.


Alternatively, using coathangers to LST would be a lot better for such a small space. A combination of topping and LST would do you wonders. Do a search, have a read, and good luck whatever you decide.
blink_inc Reviewed by blink_inc on . @Making A Screen!@ I have a big rubbermaid grow that im constructing for recently rooted, flowering clones but ill need a screen inside it so they dont get to tall. How can I make myself a good 15''x 30'' Screen to fit inside my rubbermaid tub. I'll be using the original lid with 2 ft flouro tubes mounted to it and not another tub on top unlike Bodom's. HELP!
