i think you will have to staple the plastic over the top of where you attached that insulation, just feel for a beam as you roll out it out. if the plastic isn't secured to the wood it will most likely not stay up.

reason i want the plastic up is so around march i can do a grow in the loft with out the tents then stop at the end of may due to heat and start in september, i would like to do 20 plants, something the tents carnt do unless its a small sog grow,
the screws with washers sound a good idea though

thanks for your comments, to be honest i think the 3 main reason's rooms at uni's get busted is 1,MOUTH, no one can keep quite. 2, ELECTRICITY, the boss's do regular checks on electric useage, 3, SMELL, it only takes 1 person to spliff up and the smell is enough to get a room search.

just had delivery of my plug in thermostat and 3ft tube heater, just tryed the heater to make sure it worked (you know what the delivery people can be like) and it works fine, left it on for half an hour and thermostat cuts off to what i set it at.
dam do these things get hot and at less than 200 watts i would definitly advice this than an oil filled rad.
will hook it up before the weekend is out.

i have been reading this thread and have been loft growing for 15 years , i run 3x600 and 1 250w hid's , never had problem with heat signatures , it is advisable to have your lights on in the day time <---- obvious i know , you would think!!! i have never insulated it out on either house , i think ppl who cant keep there mouths shut and brag , like to blame it on the chopper, how many ppl who got busted for growing were told by the police ""oh yeah "the chopper got you" it aint happening , plus dont believe everything u see on tv , these programs are the cheapest way for the police to deter you from growing , its complete propaganda, i use black/white pvc to errect my tents and i use a thermostat fan heater to keep temps up in the winter gl with ur grow

Except for the part where busts in California went up by about double when the DEA started employing FLIR technology. FLIR doesn't deter anyone from growing, it just deters them from growing in uninsulated areas and exterior rooms on their homes.
Also, your room is insulated. You have what ever that smaller upside down V shape structure is between your lights and the surface of your roof. Undoubtedly you also have an exhaust leading to another room I would assume, unless you're just venting out of your chimney, so your heat signature would be significantly diminished. By the time air leaves the smaller structure where you grow and spreads out in your room, by the time it leaves your home its cooled off to the point where it's not going to show up on a FLIR

ok im in the uk , so i cant comment about california , i do know this though , the police are heavy on propaganda and scaremongery in the uk ,
i only passive exhaust and i have 3 of those tents , i guess the aircon unit thats cools my attic is defusing my heatsignature, i have an air con pipe along the floor of each flower room , i also know alot of ppl here growing in there lofts, without insulating the roof tiles , i was not suggesting for 1 min that ppl grow in there loft without a tent or such

i firstly started out with friends and the grew in my loft in the uk, but the loft was already done out, flooring walls lights etc.......
i had 10 plants and 4 400watt and i had the choppers over all the time and i never got picked up at all, but i think i might of been lucky or just the fact that i kept my mouth shut at all times.
loose lips sinks ships thats my moto!!
Peace!

Is this 65 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? As you mention growing in the UK.
As if that if that is Celsius, I'd watch out.
Also, at the start of the year, when we had a load of snow hit us, all the houses on my road where covered in snow except one.
That house got raided about a month later for growing up in his loft.
So keep safe!
