Guest Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 How many threads are there about how to build this ? too many, but thats because they refuse to put instructions in something and then give it to a "herb smoker" to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepitgoin Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thank you JOINTHOGGER the pictorial description was a blessing. I am lucky enough to have enough space to hang my reflector and it helped loads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonnie123 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 as title i found it realy difficult to support heavy bud under my para as yo yo,s don,t work. Heres my solution i loosen the bolt nearest to the bud wrap plant tie round it nip the bolt up and now support the bud with mi para if it gets too heavy at one side i drape hanging chain at the opposite side to balance it up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quattro Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 hehe i'm just taken one too pieces . have to say its a lot easier than putting it together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalvoodoo Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 , wish I'd thought to check here a few days ago, I just assembled a 120cm one, no instructions at all, and of course also quite bulky to assemble single handedly, especially if you have short arms! Also very fiddly as the bolts used are barely long enough to fit into the holes and keep there while the thing's being bent into shape. Pleased to report it was worth the effort as light is now much intense yet even throughout the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Default Attribute Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I just got one of these from greens today, looks simple enough but some of the bolt holes don't line up on mine, at the point where they connect to the octagon thing. Is this a fault, should I get the drill out? or am I supposed to bend it so they fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a fault, should I get the drill out? or am I supposed to bend it so they fit? Yes, it does need to bend into shape for the screw holes to line up. Try bending it & putting the bolts through, but not tightening them until its all together & you are sure its all right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexiSarh Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Do it panel by panel, putting every bolt in before starting the next panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Default Attribute Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks Got it sorted eventually, would have been easier with another person there to hold it in place. Can't wait to get it hung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 The joys of the parabolic. I remember it took me hours first time . Bit heavy they are but the best iv used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trichomedome Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 this is how you lay out the bits & when your bolting the petals together, you over lap them on the one side when fixing them together TIP ? Put the nuts, bolts etc into "segment go under the plate" the top plate, then hang it up to finish putting the others in. I,ve done 2 and hanging it is much easyer to work with. The best £ for £ reflector imo atb CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
