My cheap and easy FCG stand

I thought I would show off my cheap FCG stand that I built a few years ago. I know alot of people are concerned about drilling holes in the ceiling to hang their FCG. I don't have any exact measurements because I made it to fit in front of one of the windows in the house. I have about $20 in it. My FCG is fairly light so this stand works pretty well for it. Here's a pic of all the parts.

The assembled base/top:

I put a 1" drywall screw in the corners to fasten sides securely to keep the stand from racking.

Here it is all assembled.

I then just tape some black plastic around 3 sides. I use zip ties to hang the FCG from the top. My blacklight sits on the floor aimed up at the FCG.
