Hi all. I'm building a grow room inside the garage and looking for a second opinion from those who have dealt with it.
The grow room dimensions:
My main concern is whether to use plywood/drywall in my grow room or not. Seems like couple folks on the internet were successfully using insulation boards without the drywall in their grow spaces.
On one hand, it's so much cheaper to only have insulation material on the walls, besides that it's already reflective, but on the other hand it might be prone to get accidentally damaged. I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze. Especially taking in consideration that it needs additional reflective covering on top of it.
Are there any pitfalls in fixing insulation board to the lumber frame without covering it with drywalls? Or should I find a compromise by covering only some parts along the perimeter (bottom or middle) on the outer side of the frame?
The grow room dimensions:
- 12' (144") – length
- 6' (72") – width
- 8' (96") – height
