this is pretty much what I meant, only, mine is not that complicated, or
potentially pretty as the one above might be. Mine is 60x60x100cm and made
of 1x2inch pieces of lumber. To make it more sturdy I screwed it together
with wood screws. As floor I used a piece of plywood that was lying around,
lined it with plastic, and covered the enire frame with 2 mill plastic that
can be bought in a hardware store. No joke, the entire thing cost $16,
although I have to say that the lights were not included in that, nore the
looks of it. At some point when I am rich I was planning on replacing it with
something more esthetically pleasing. For now though, my lowlanders loveit!
One of the CPN issues had a detailed describtion of one, I would have to look
up which issue though.
