Do I Need a Crossbar for Armoire Grow

  1. Hi everyone,
     
    I want to do a TV armoire grow and hang the air cooled reflector either by just screwing in some brackets and attaching an S hook directly from the top panel, or by hanging it from a metal pipe or wooden bar and also using an S hook. In order to install the bar, two holes on each side of the armoire would have to be made. From there the bar slides into the holes. 
     
    The top panel of the armoire is about 1 inch thick. I know hanging the reflector using the pole would be a better, more secure option. But would the bracket idea be sufficient for a reflector that weighs approximately 26 lbs? Would hate to drill holes into the armoire for a pole since that is where the exhaust and intake holes are supposed to be. I would also lose a few inches of plant height since the reflector wouldn't be as high as just hanging it directly from the top panel. 
     
    What would be best?
