Menards?

[Grow Thread]

lil help.

 

i kow what menards is, but im not very familair with them and they do not have any kind of an online store.

 

i got a couple hundred dollars worth of gift cards from the holidays..................

 

do they really have anything there?? the nearest one is a bit of a drive.... do they have air pumps? good totes?

stones?

 

do they have anything hydro??

 

how about lamps?? cheap mh lamps??

 

humidifiers?

[Brandan]

They are comparable to home depot. Same concept. They have humidifiers, I've saw MH light at the one out here.. Not sure about online store though

Menards is one of my fav stores but not the greatest for hydro stuff.

 

Bins are hit or miss.

 

Cheap timers.

 

No airpumps.

 

Good selection of humidifiers and room heaters.

 

They do have inline booster fans that work well. 4 to 12 inch I believe.

 

Lots of PVC and plumbing accessories.

 

Not sure about the the MH bulbs. I know there selection is CRAP for t5 anything.

 

Overall its a good store, easily can spend money there. They have a decent handtools selection, some foods, and lots of other stuff.

[Homes Labs]

thanks.

No prob. Prob should clarify "cheap timers"

 

By cheap I mean do not buy lol.

[Grow Thread]

oh i am 100% familiar with the timers of which you infer.

 

i actually do need a couple of those $6 suckers

 

im just trying to see if its gonna be worth it to me to make the drive and blow the cards, or sell them for 75% or what the heck ever gift cards are getting nowadays.

I managed to find a 400 watt HPS at Menards in Holland, saw a few MH's but not sure about wattage.

If you cannot find anything useful with your gift cards I can try to see if anyone I know would buy them off you for cash so you could get things you are looking for if not you can toss em on craigslist

BB, you're a do it yourselfer. If you can't spend 200 at Menards you should be ashamed. Lots of plumbing parts, wire gizmos, and dreams.

[garyfisher]

menards puts home depot and lowes to shame. Ultra low prices and TONS of everything.

haha, im sure i can blow it, thats never a problem

 

i'm gonna try to get out this week and see what i can see.

 

im thinking about building a permanent 1" PVC system with some kind of quick-release or ball valves to change out/clean buckets when needed. im sure they have everything there i would need

agreed

[ScrogBubbles]

Sounds like a good chance to take it vertical

It's a shame Michigan has few Menards locations. In other parts of the Midwest they are the true do-it-yourself discount store, priced significantly below Home Depot and way under Lowe's. They are a bit shy on the high end mega bucks marble bath basins and gold faucets others carry (which really spins some yups cranks)for their Mcmansions. Wisconsin and Minnesota are blessed with them, Michigan is unfortunately, not. You got Menard gift cards? Somebody loves you.

[Grow Thread]

yeah the majority of my family live down in ohio and indiana where they seem to be more plentiful as well.

They make these screw together junctions in 1'' and put a ball valve on each side of junction.

(close valve-disconnect quick release- open valve to drain.)

 

I used 1 1/2'' because i used bath tub drains as my output.. double gaskets and all... works great^^^^(screw grommets and leaks) they are made concaved so when they are tightend they seal 100% ( But i still used some silicone on the rubber gaskets)

plumbed right to the bath drain..menards has the drains i used 3$ each.

they have video surveillance equipment. Bins are poor to non existent. Most stuff is pretty low grade but inexpensive (less than lowes in most cases. Hardware is acceptable and I buy screws and bolts and such there.
