Need ideas for DIY enclosure for 8.5x10.5x5

[ATC_PZ]

Building a frame 8.5x10.5x5 with 1” conduit pipe and looking for ideas to enclose the top and sides. I know they sell kits for this but I was trying to save some $. Wondering if anyone has advise. Thanks.

I used 3/32" cable and ran it thru eyehooks with turnbuckles on each end to tighten. Was much cheaper than the conduit I priced out. 1 run was able to frame the screen and do the top for the curtains and a cover if I needed.

I did the same, except instead of "framing" the back net/screen with vertical cable runs, I put more eyehooks into the studs on the side walls and use paracord with caribiner clips to create the side tension. It takes 2-3 minutes to set up or take down and all that is left is the eyehooks.

And if you want custom sized netting, www.justfornets.com was great for me.
