A bundle of strapping
masonry string 500 ft? maybe 750'!
some scrap 10-12 gauge copper wire to secure frames four corners
4 ratcheting straps
4 anchor hooks
I went with 3" holes on both top and bottom. Make sure you use masonry string, because kite string is too weak in my opinion. I would have saved a bit of time if I had reamed the holes well instead of being lazy. The stringing was the annoying part but, Ill get good at it after a few grows. I just want to cut the string away at harvest.
You could probably make this any size you would need up to 5' x 5', I wouldn't go higher though with these materials...... I attached my frame to my oscillating fan and I am able to get a 2 inch movement on either swing for 4" total and I figured I would experiment with this before buying a light mover. I put stand offs so that the frame will not move beyond that 4"s. I am worried about the unexpected yank, but I am going to try to prevent that in the future when the idea comes. I got standoffs and I am not in
Anyhow, hope you enjoy....
