get you some of that flexible lamp conduit, a 6 inch piece of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" wood that that has a 1/2" 45 degree deep "v" cut out down the center on each side of that 6 inch piece of wood, then mount one side of the wood to a tent pole and then mount the flexible lamp conduit to the other side of that 6" piece of wood and then use zip ties to mount it, then just mount your fan to the end of the flexible lamp conduit. Then you can move the fan wherever you need the most circulation around your tent!

I put a couple corner shelves similar to this in with a 24" oscillating tower fan, just hang it from 3 ratchets on the top corner..works great, doesnt block light .
Slip the corner pole thru the hole; raise and lower with the canopy height with the fan, or use it to propagate smaller plants as needed

Small strip of wood , some electrical ties, fasten wood to poles with ties, osciallting fan attatches to wood, problem solved.

I used a small piece of door casing I had laying around. I think it was 2.5" wide and I cut it to same height as my tent. Worked like a charm.

damn renfro you already know about all that? man I do hvac for a living and all the info you ever give is dead nutz great info
hope you realize you're a great help all around man , gotta give you mad props.

they make some sort of saran wrap type UV guard if you're ever worried about that, some people use it on outdoor linesets but it looks ugly I usually do the gutter-guard type stuff for clients

saw your posts about dual 12-12 chambers switching on-off cycles to keep hheat up, that type of info is priceless man.. keep it up
you ever thought about writing a book?

this would go in the safety section :D

^^ that’s in a 2.5’x5’ tent with a 12” hurricane oscillating fan. A little over kill for this size tent, so I’m going to purchase a 6” Vivosun oscillating fan for this tent and put the 12” hurricane osc. Fan into the new 4x4 I got
