This is amazing. I was trying to figure out how I was going to enclose my closet. Was almost ready to build something when I found this. Its awesome. I got a roll of velcro to put it up which was super easy. Tucked the bottom into the closet and put a piece of wood inside to hold the bottom down.looks super clean. Read more

If you’re building a poly- or panda-wrap indoor garden, but this door (unless u choose to build a wood door). This is my 4th indoor garden / grow room, and my first time wrapping in panda wrap for air containment. I will be co2 enhancing, & if my room is leaky, my co2 burner will run often, creating too much heat for the safety of the plants. I rent, rather than own, so building a permanent structure isn’t appropriate. I was reluctant to spend $50 on this product, compared to 2 cheap zippers from top to bottom (for access). The 2 zippers aren’t intended to be remotely airtight. By nature one can’t tape down the bottom of the poly zipper door. Copious “contained” air environment easily slides out the bottom of the “door” which is not sealed AT ALL. That doesn’t work for me. Co2 is a creeper - heavier than o2, unless much air movement, it lingers low. Forward to the Black Hatch (received yesterday, well ahead of date promised). The item itself came packed in carrying case made from similar material. I expected a thin plastic , disposable bag. So, unpacked it n laid it out on living room floor. It’s big. The material is heavy. The reflective Mylar on one side is rugged for Mylar (I hate Mylar cause of cleaning it, material “crinkling,” etc. why I went to Black / white poly. Anyway, it’s the dimpled kind of Mylar, and strong, so hope to avoid my earlier issues with lesser material. It will handle staples and guarilla tape well. The zipper is heavy duty at currently, at lease, runs smoothly. Big soft plastic parts, but no manufacturer indicator on the zipper tag. I like it. The door is BIG, but the reason I bought this hatch is so I can seal the bottom of the enclosure to the floor. The bottom of the hatch entryway isn’t on the bottom, but vertically in the middle, kinda. Door is elevated about 1.5’ above the floor of the room. Thus, if I have co2 lingering around the floor, it won’t all fly out of the grow room. I looked at other sources of this product on and off Amazon. Found some prices as low as $38, but when shipping added, came to same $50 with free shipping on Amazon. This product has no peer on the internet. You will not find a lower price (not in 2019 / 2020 anyway). So, if you are sealing a garden in poly wrap or orca, for air tightness / environmental containment, but this n look forward to a fast shipment. I’ll try to update this review after 1-2 cycles of the room using this product. Read more

This works great. Had an old door on an outdoor shed. Door was a very weird size so we bought this until a door could be made. Worked so well we have not even replaced with door. Read more

Hydrofarm Black Hatch Zipper Door exceeded my expectations. The quality and materials are top notch but it’s was a bit disappointing that it doesn’t bring its own abrasive for the price. I was very eager to install it today when I received it but I’ll have to wait till tomorrow when I get some heavy duty Velcro or doble sided tape. Read more

Hydrofarm Black Hatch Zipper Door exceeded my expectations. The quality and materials are top notch. Thick fabric shell with premium mylar reflective material. Zippers are large and super easy to zip up. Tested if any light leaks could be found and this thing is solid. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to create a grow room partition. Thumbs up Hydrofarm. Read more

Not light proof by any means. Light shines through zipper. If the inside flap along the zipper was wider, it would be much better, but they skimped on that and makes this product useless for it's intention. Mounting kit-useless too. I used 1x2 strips and screwed into frame. Read more
