Adding a polyethylene "room" within a room
    #25515685 - 10/05/18 07:14 PM (5 years, 3 months ago)

As is stands, my flowhood is in a room (approx 16 x 13) surrounded by difficult-to-clean 1/2" Oriented Strand Board and thin carpet with a drop-down ceiling that has a filter blowing air into the room.  (I've already added a 3M filter above the vent - from my reading, this seems to be acceptable if you only use a filter on one or two vents per hours - please correct me if I'm wrong).  My flowhood cannot recycle air effectively through this room due to its size and because it's not insulated very well.  Above the drop-down ceiling are pipes, etc and then the ceiling of the garage.

To fix this, I'm basically creating a large right triangle via 1" pvc - one pipe on a wall, another on an adjacent wall, two connecting them to form a 90 degree angle, and hang polyethylene sheeting to create a "room".

I'd like to attach 1" pvc to two adjacent walls via 1" pipe straps, secure the polyethylene sheeting to the pvc clamps, and hang the poly off the pvc.  I'm also going to try sticking polyethylene under the drop-down ceiling and secure it via staples to the OSB and/or via clamps to the PVC.


So my main question is:
As for attaching the pvc, I plan on using a 1" pipe strap every 24 inches up the wall to secure the pvc - should I use a wall anchor or could I get away with small screws?  I assume this 6mm polyurethane will weight quite a bit (1600 sq. feet of it - the strips are 10 feet tall - and approx. 8 feet for each wall)  If I do use a wall anchor, will I face any problems if one of the anchor goes into a stud behind the 1/2" Oriented Strand Board?

Maybe I'm over-thinking all this and should just go with a fuck-it mentality and learn from my failures.

Anyway, here are pics for context:

The room itself, so you may understand why I'm going through all this trouble
