    • Lights: 4ft - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B086BWPBHL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    • Cable system - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09BZ9L9C1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    • Netting - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00P7RUI3U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I just bolted the anchors from the cable system into some ceiling studs, and then attached the lights using their mounting clips + some zip ties. It was a temporary thing that just never got updated since it works well. I thought I might need to add weights at the bottom, but the leds are heavy enough on their own.

    Wall has a bunch of screws put into the studs and then the net is just spread over them. I zip tied the net in a few spots to start if off, then just wrapped the netting around the screws to pull it tight.

    I’ve started letting it climb onto the ceiling / off the net by using some thumb tacks, but I don’t think this is going to work. I’ll probably put a few screws in and then run some fishing line between them.

      Oh man, that’s so much more than I expected! Now you got me scheming…

      Just looked. A 6-pack for $134!?! I’m turning my daughter’s room into a nursery.

        One thing to be aware, is that vine drinks 2L a day and seems to lose a lot of it to the air. It gets pretty humid in my office as a result.

        I just open my door for fresh air so it doesn’t bother me, but the level of humidity surprised me.
