i was going to rig up some fans/filters etc... in the bottom of a big plastic storage crate but i have just won one of these all in one spray booths on ebay (£26 ) picture attached.

i will attach the top parts to it, probably a modified clear plastic very large storage crate with doors, stick a strip of metal over the middle, use some magnetic clips to stick the shirt to it (on there way) and pre-treat away for £50 - £60 all in, thats the plan anyway............

i have decided to go with a mini plastic greenhouse to house it all in, the bottom dimensions are similar to the simair glue booth and there is a nice wire rack for the bottom to sit it on, cut a hole out of the middle flap to do the pretreat spraying and bobs your uncle, i think this will work nicely.

There are 3 pretreatment machines in the market.
US screen $4000
Eqntzone $4000
All American Mfg $6000
all have cons and pros.
I hope 3rd party will call the judgement soon.
