My wife, Beth, is an avid gardener who does not allow trivial things like winter impinge on her passion for growing things. Recently she showed me a few indoor grow light stand designs, all based on 2x2 or 2x4 frames, designed for circle saw, hammer and nail construction. Since my yet-to-be-designed version of the grow-light stand would reside in our house, aesthetic improvements were necessary. A functional improvement or two would also be nice. Still lacking a sound engineering concept, I was off to the lumber store. In my best seat-of-the-pants design mode I stood in the "good lumber" isle considering materials. Pine triumphed over more expensive options in part because there is a considerable amount of wood in this project and though I wanted it to look nice, a grow-stand is not living room furniture. With a sufficient load of pine, I headed back to the shop. The overall dimensions of my grow-stand were dictated in large part by the four-foot light fixture. Other considerations were placing the plant shelf 30-inches from the floor and providing a sufficient range of height adjustment for the light fixture. The "standard" models accomplished height adjustment through use of the chains supplied with the light fixture. Even I could be less crude than that.
