Frame out a 4x8 or larger space in either a basement or room using 2x4's and screws. use MASONARY Plastic to coat the inside (and out depending on your goals), Frame a spot for a Hepa furnace or air filter add fan and radiator heater wah la, custom grow tent that's not a total PAIN made with plastic pvc garbage. can be reused far more times than a 200$ tent, and all your need to do is replaced plastic flooring after a year or so of walking around on it if your care, phuck it.
this will allow you to put the "tent" in any room, even your garage or attic without the worry of insulation (masons plastic kicks ass), and if your looking for something more stealthy, use paint and plywood on the outside
I'd also use it on any single pain windows if your live in a cold ass environment!
This way your have the freedom to set it up how you wish and keep it super super clean
Sorry no pics, but google would could prolly offer a few of what im describing.

Plywood door with plastic, padlock, and weather stripping will be the best entrance. What's your goals for security?

Just choose a corner of the room, find a stud and build off of that or build a movable less permanent one all by itself if your renting or w/e and place it in a corner. use the same idea as the outdoor tent, ie add roof and full plastic throughout, Hepa filters are not as cheap as poly fil, but i find they last several months and are far easier/solid part of the structure and a breeze to change. of course you will need to make some modifications according to your goals of size and style (ie, using it for a martha FC or just monotub controlled storage) I would always add padlocks but i overdo shit. gauges and lights are a breeze to hang and work great on criss crossed monos. fan on low near the filter, I use 2 large filters top and bottom to move the air around rather than let it get stale.

Word,
What type of work are you doing? High explosives or biological chemicals? I used to build tents for some guys in cali, I have done several of them for a number of uses, again it's all on what you are looking to accomplish. This masons plastic method (Staple cardboard to plastic and ductape) WILL be your best cost and most effective method if your not trying to reflect light.
You can add a still air entrance etc, it's all about how creative you are, but even more important is what you want. That of course is related to the work your doing, building a small lab i would use the same principles, but i would use plastic or rubber flooring and finished wood or steel tables, shelving, etc
Maybe someone else will be able to assist you better with their own photos, or if you have any specific questions I might be able to help with just let me know! Best of luck!!

You have the right idea, research what your looking for.
I'm a carpenter, just build what I need for what I need, if it was me add a hood, shelves, work bench, and XM radio.
Don't build it out of cardboard boxes, pvc, and ductape.
Not trying to be rude, this shit is just second nature for me.
I just built a 25,000$ oak walk in closest, so it's all about how much you wanting to spend and want to accomplish.
I will say this, i'm not investing 25k into my walk in closet, I own 3 shirts that need hung, 1 suit and tie.
Vaulting a ceiling is child's play, question is do you need it for your wife's shoes and dresses? Some say yes, most do not

Just go to a hydro store and look at grow tents. Get a feel for dimensions that are comfortable for you.
I use a 3'x3'x6' tent. My chair sticks halfway out of it while I work in my SAB inside.
Ideally I would zip it up, but my tent is a little small and the heat it retains is ridiculous. I can still work with my lid off of my SAB and knock up bags with zero contam issues.

It's not very complicated man. Just build an enclosure, wrap it in plastic, work inside. slapphappypill has a thread about making your own tent too.

Hello Frank,
I would like to start by saying thanks for your plethora of valued information on this site, author of quite a few kickass threads that I highly value.
Your idea is correct, get a feel for what you need within available space. Problems faced with the tents which are from hydro stores are usually zipper related or they tear along seams of the pvc piping. Have you faced any issues such as this with your own tent?
Lots of work on dro tents has led me to hate mylar as it's hard on my eyes with bright lights and has me to confined, but for a dro gro they are quite nice.
plastic also likes to crack in the inside and fade off due to wear and tear, and yes you can't fit in there with a chair well and your body heat can make you sweat bullets all over your gear. Ever consider making your own tent from scratch, like the OP? You seem like you have spent a little (or lot) of time in that coffin! No offence you fucking rock, just wondering why you have not gone that route,
I actually use an empty closet on hardwood floor for lab work, built a little shelf and table works good.

I have not gone that route mainly due to the extra work involved. I'm terrible with wood and my buddy works at a hydro shop and offered me a great deal on some overstock.
I really like working in my tent, we have made great pals over the last six months 
I use a small led strip light that is easy on the eyes. The reflectivity of the insides just makes it a little more bright all over, I like it.

Thank You!
Glad to hear that you got the kill deal! = EZ!
LED's are key, I also like to throw on my stunner shades, turn the disco ball, XM, and UFO's on and burn one in my old 8x8. Good way to end it all if your prone to seizures.
If you haven't already, I would use some good drink coasters on both the bottom of chair and table so your legs don't excessively wear holes in the tent. I had my tent for 3 years with heavy ass lights etc hanging, moving it several times before it started to to disintegrate lol.
I'm rolling back to the mycology world I believe, so Ill prolly see you around!
Cheers!

Ever consider sea of green? yield should roughly triple or more from what I see there. Might as well make the most of your space, electric as well
We've done a bunnnch, with epic results!

Sorry to hear that!
Look up SOG / Sea of Green -- Growery would prolly have some good info.
I suggest blowing it up in his memory, you will gain another kickass cultivation skill in the process. You might even start burning em down like the marley's!
Highly Highly Highly Suggested !
