Dumb idea for fall or?

[Kopper1013]

Well my wife said I couldn’t fill our patio with my plants so I opted to move them out back, worried about deer I put up a fence, then I remembered a tent I had found on the side of the road so I erected the skeleton around the fence. Thought is come our wet damp fall days when hopefully I’ll be in heavy budding I’ll wrap the structure in construction poly. Leave a foot up from grass open a gap at the top and a fan in hopes to keep air circulating….thoughts??

Wife's gonna cause spindly growth and light stress.

Keep the wife and grow some killer weed. Tent idea is really good. I’ve used a 6 mil thick clear polyethylene for rain protection in mid-late flower and would roll it back after rains. You might want to leave 2-3 ft open at bottom to increase airflow during critical flowering stage. Keep us posted on your grow. Looks good.

lol thanks y’all I think I’ll keep her hahaha she did buy me an AC Infinity 60 x 60 x 80 tent for Father’s Day cause “you look like your having fun” I’ll see about moving them till flower, that maybe their saftey pen at night time though worried about the deer they’re already after my peaches

How did u go about the plastic?
Pvc, or rose trellis has been on my mind?

Wonderful compromise - keep all the ladies happy.

Now it looks like you’ll be needing to build that 2-bay “work garage” you’ve always wanted…….

However I dnt think he was referring to keeping the water off. More so kritters away.
Super glad you brought that up tho

The fence is to keep the deer at bay currently
For the poly I’ll get a 10’ x 100’ roll, drape the top and clamp to the frame or use pvc clips then I’ll just wrap the sides over lap the seems, attach to the fence and posts then probably buy a construction zipwall dust barrier zipper to get in and out once the wet fall sets in. Again that’s just an idea/plan

It's a pretty good idea and trying to be preventative is better than fixing

The rain is easy. It’s the wind you have to worry about. Good luck.

Regarding wind protection once your plastic is up, invest in a 200 ft Roll of twine. Costs about $2-3. Cut off 15-20 ft lengths and criss-cross the cover tying each end of twine to the opposite tent stakes. Once you have 6-8 cross ties attached and pulled taught, you’re unlikely to have the tarp blown off. But you must be vigilant during any windstorms to check on your secure lines. Good luck.

Yeah, you don’t need your neighbor knocking at your door and saying, hey kopper,Do you think you can come over and get your greenhouse out of my pool! Very embarrassing!
