Has anyone mounted a 18" oscillating fan in a 4' x 8' tent?

Has anyone mounted a 18" oscillating fan in a 4' x 8' tent?
I have a pedestal 18" fan in there now but it takes up too much space?
Is there a bracket that is available or has someone made one?

Thanks,

Alta

Just to help you out here. I don't have experience with this specific question but a few things I can tell you off hand.

You'll need a solid frame in order to secure a fan to your tent. Not just the top portion of the tent, but all around to secure it. The fan is going to cause a lot of movement with your tent. Rock back n forth type movement.

The only feasible idea I can think of at the moment, is securing the fan to your ceiling with a pole extension leading into your tent. So your fan is securing by the ceiling. If your looking for stealth, this isn't a good idea. Itll also make it tricky if you're going to use a filter/exhaust fan.

I use ratchet hangers and tie it to the poles in my closet. I hang it upside down. Not a tent but a closet so I don’t have any rigidity issues

I zip tied a 2x4 to one of the posts a couple years ago and then mounted the fan to the 2x4 worked just fine in my cheap Chinese tent I had from Amazon

Take the base off the fan and use some u bolts to secure the fan to a corner post or zip ties to get whatever angle you want or need. I have mine on the outside of my tent just blowing in a small hole
