Indoor Growing Scrog

OK newbie here. How is this for an idea to get around the access issue at the back for defol?
SCROG single plant in a square tent.
Lazy Susan table (big say 50cm or even larger for huge plants). Pot on top.
Two hoops, maybe floral hoops or even hula hoops. They must be slightly small than lazy susan.
They are mounted to the table around the plant, one above the other.
They are held up (like a cylinder) with pvc pipe or similar.
They form the SCROG frame.
You can weave twine in a square pattern (like a tennis raquet) across the top hoop.
For schwazzing/defol, just rotate the SCROG, along with the plant with the lazy susan.
I have not put much thought into how to build this yet. I am not the tradie type who knows the best way to do this sort of thing.

Next best way but much easier, is just to use a stand under the pot of course, to give a little room to work under.
I like the idea of a PVC jointed rectangular frame for this. Twine can be made very tight and much easier to remove from plants at harvest.
I have not tried this yet but want to use the schwazzing method in my next grow, having been inspired by Sensai.
My last grow was full of larf and I got rot too.

EDIT: A rectangular prism with square base would also work and much easier to cut to size with PVC tube. Hardware shops also sell joiners for these.
EDIT 2: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005225614259.html yoga hoop fits in my 4x4 tent
Buy a turntable and add a plywood base of appropriate size. LOL motorise and spin it around for equal light.
Buy PVC tube. Cut into lengths. Drill holes top and bottom.
Secure to hoops with zip ties.

I follow a guy on 420 magazine forums who scrogs photos,He veges for 8 weeks ,flips, sets the net and the stretch fills the net.He also lets the stalk get really tall by removing branches.I'm gonna try his method with photos when it's cool enough to grow photos again.He apparently gets big harvests like 420 but the timing of it all, isn't as pressing.
What is the name of this guy so I can read what he does please?

I'm in process of doing this, in my case, a 4'x2' tent ... Use a 4'x2' 5/8" thick OSB board, $7 US. Four 4" casters, $13 US.
Put the tent on the rolling platform, and make main electric connection to the tent ample length, and wheel the entire thing around as needed.
The plywood requires a 'strong back', a piece of 1x4" lumber glued vertically to the underside of the plywood, centered, to support
the weight of the reservoirs. Works like an 'I beam'.

I wish I had the space to do this, it would certainly make plucking easier. ;)

Interesting. Rotate entire tent! I agree something to help stop warping would be a good idea.
I was thinking of something like this (cut plywood to size and varnish):

The thing with the 420 method though, after the scrog net is in place -- the plant or plants aren't moveable inside the tent.
Hence my plan to put the entire tent on wheels. Also gets it up off the floor a bit, which in my case is a plus.
Similar to what 420 has done with his outdoor carts ...
