Lowes and Home Depot carry this green plastic 2"x2" holed poultry fencing it's called. It only comes in a 2 foot wide by 25 foot long roll, at least that is what I found and used for my indoor set ups. How do you hold them together if you want to cover 4' wide area, use those small mini zip ties, or just twisty bread ties, thin copper wire, just about anything I have used.

There is a green plastic chicken wire
for gardening that I used to use for my 2ft x 4ft SCROG growing AK47.. worked great as the holes were just a wee bit larger then the basic metal stuff.. this green plastic is usually used to build walls around gardens to keep pests out so it's very strong.
I did find I had to tie the center down to avoid it being pushed up by the plants, but no biggie. Then I used a crochet tool
for pulling the bud sites up through the holes.. with no sharp edges the plants can rub against it with no issues.. hope this helps... most mom's have the crochet tools, lol

coolin in the Rockies..
Trend, thanks for droppin in...question, how often, and how far if they did, did your colas, buds etc fall outside the actual 4x8 footprint ? i know that 4x8 with 2k gives 64.5w/sq ft so plenty of wiggle room...just curious if you found they usually laid over outside the 4x8 and if you saw an issue with the 1k each covering 16/sq ft or maybe actually when it was all said and done each 1k was covering say 55" x 55" etc ...thanks...elk..

It all depends on your reflector or if you have rows (side lighting). Usually I get around a foot over hang. Single table maybe 6 inches. Vertizontals cover a good 5ft wide though @ 24" over canopy. Stocky plants will stay within the boundaries and still yeield but you have to compensate with additional height/depth of canopy. A good 18" over your first net is needed if youre aiming for 2+.

I guess I can be of some help here......
Though what I'm running isn't exactly a sea of green set up,my foot print is roughly the same.
I'm at 45'' wide and 7ft long measuring the bottom board that my plants rest on.
And....I run two 1kw lights.
First....'' .how far if they did, did your colas, buds etc fall outside the actual 4x8 footprint ?''
If you start training them when they are short enough and use multiple levels of material,they should stay within the frame work.
If you get behind like I did on this run they will grow 1 to 2 feet outside of the ''foot print ''. That pic with the rigid frame is a good example.
Of keeping them within the frame......
Next.... ''just curious if you found they usually laid over outside the 4x8 and if you saw an issue with the 1k each covering 16/sq ft ''
I run reflectors with no glass and spaced them about a foot apart,they throw pretty intense light from wall to wall in a room that is probably 10' x 12'.
There is obviously some degradation in the size of the bud's the further away from the bulb you get
Feel free to go to my profile and look in my ''Thread Pic's'' ...... my last run was more controlled and I had less plants.
This run I'm crowded and put my first netting in way too late.
It will mean more work later on keeping the buds upright.
I should have put the first netting in about here.....
Instead of up here.....
Hope that helps....:laugh:
