i don't normally read this forum so i hope i am not repeating something that has been done here before. this seemed like the best forum to post this.

i offered to send a photocopy of my grow light stand plans if you emailed me, however, i found the web site yesterday so you can get them directly.

this is very easy to make. all you need is a hack saw to cut the pvc pipe and a tape measure. i drilled holes to screw in an eye bolt with wood screw threads into the pvc pipe to attach jack chain that holds the lights. if you do that you'll need a drill and a small drill bit. a vice is handy to open the closed eye bolt. this is so easy to make i can't imagine anyone would have any problems and the pay back is well worth the cost. once you have the supplies it should take an hour to make this.

i built this stand in march 2004 and use it for all sorts of garden plants. the only thing i advise is if you are going to grow tall plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, change the height of the shelves from 14" to 23". when you look at the color picture of the plans this is the blue pvc. also i used 3/4" not 1" schedule 40 pvc pipe.

here's the link -
