Coroplast?

Hello, Typically I doit in a tent (4'9" sqX6'9"H) but the loss of 15 inches of interior height is killing me so I'm going to abandon my tent and build a temporary room in my 3rd Broom. It will be 8'X8'X8'. I'd like it to be as modular and teardownable as the tent but a little more rigid and not crazy heavy.. I was thinking of coroplast for the walls like thishttps://www.google.com/search?site=...0.15.1676...0j0i30k1j0i24k1.ITTfmZKqMcs#imgrc=_

2'x8' sections on 2"x3" frames and connected modularly
----Just had a deja vu typing the above (funny shit)The stuff
isn't cheap, especially black but $500 for a new bigger (5'X5'x7') tent, still loosing 12" of height or a few hundred for a temporary room??? I'm still in the planning/collection stages and have to finish the current tent run, then home construction will keep 'workers' in and around my house so that will delay the start of the next run until November/December. I come here to 'greenhouses' cause my thoughts are you guys/girls might know of a realistically priced source for this kinda stuff and even, "you're outta your mind" perspectives, maybe alternative I haven't considered... Thanks for any thoughts or experiences..

I know this is not about coroplast but though this might be relevant.

I built a 8x8x8 chamber using 8' stick lumber, reflectix, and black plastic for my basement . All major joints are lap joints that are drill and then bolted. Doors are roll-up velcro doors. Did 2 ppk runs thru it so far. pics of chamber and a grow.

nice clean work ICRSN.. :tiphat: my idea is similar.. same 8x8 foot room in a bedroom.. I've decided to bail on the chloroplast and use 3/4" rigid insulation (4'x8') ripped to 2 feet and both halves enclosed in small metal studs forming a 2 foot by 8 foot by 1 and 5/8" panel . There will be 4 on each of two walls, linked together in metal track forming the walls and doors..
I'm looking for modular. Easy up and easy down.. couple pics. EDIT: and as usual, pics aren't the best...

while I still suk at photography, here are a couple that will give you an idea of each panel.. the studs are very light as well as the rigid insulation. The studs can be cut with a heavy duty sicissor, the insulation I have ripped to 2 feet at homedepot/lowes. Each panel will be connected to eachother by... I havet gotten there yet but a U track at the ceiling another on the floor will keep them vertical. I will utilize the existing corner of the room for the other two walls and overall sability... the door will be a panel that lifts out, held in place with either magnets, Velcro or suction.. here also I've fastened all 4 corners with selftapping screws, as I make more, I'm sure there will be improvements.. each metal stud is 10 feet long, I'd guess with an educated cutting point about 2' down, I'll be able to bend the stud and only have to screw together 2 joints on each panel.. we'll se
