I use display boards....don't think you have to worry about it catching on fire...as long as you vent etc.

Build the frame with some 2x1 wood and cover with mylar or black and white.

i always say check out resale shops for furniture always easier to mylar the walls and seal it with some caulk

word. I picked up an enclosed entertainment center for the salvation army for twenty bucks.

Not too sure what you mean by cheap. But someone ought to find this useful:

1. Re-inforce frame (if needed) to support heavy lights, etc.
2. Line the inside with your favorite "Light proof / Reflective" surface, or paint.
3. Make any, appropriate, holes for ventilation / ducting, etc.

Two of these puppies can be attached (back-to-back) with a re-inforcing strip joining the two. Then just cut the backs out and voila, you have a DoubleWide! If you make a "Double", I highly recommend bracing the "missing wall area" with a big "X" made of guy wires for support!

wally world had a sale on rubbermaids so i bought one. lights shine through even after i painted it so i ordered some mylar blankets.

good call.

affordable, easy DIY project, you can make it any size to fit anywhere and with the black/white its light proof and reflective on the inside.
