This construction is not an original design, but is based upon the design shown here.

I create a positive pressure inside the booth with a filtered box fan blowing air into the booth.  This allows me to spray solvent based finishes without the need for an expensive explosion proof fan.  My modular panel design allows me to use any number of input fans and output filters.  Currently I am using a single input fan above and behind the user; combined with an output filter located opposite the fan and below the user.  This configuration is beneficial because it draws over-spray down and away from the user.
