Uses the Rollitup profile
Good thinking, Man. One suggestion, check out plastic fence posts. They come in 8 foot lengths, are heavy-duty plastic, and not very expensive. And they're square.

GH's AeroFlo 1 was made with round tubes, the improved AeroFlo 2 is made with square tubes. It seems the square bottom allows a lot more room for the root mat to be bathed by the nutes.

For making holes in any thick plastic, those Dremel Rotary Tools are the nuts.
