So I have a 5x5 tent and I need 2 extra equipment hanging poles but can't seem to find them anywhere.

I have a green qube tent so I asked them first but didnt get a response. I emailed a few online grow stores and searched google and amazon but no luck.

I have 2 local shops I can ask next week but does anybody know where I can buy these?

Those are both good ideas.

I need to hang two 315 cmh lights with ballast attached so nothing too heavy. I was thinking about using pvc if i cant find the actual poles and its looking like I probably won't be able to.

Yes. I guess it's just the brand name but I swear by them and hang all my tent equipment with them. I also run a few along the length of the top of the tent and hang branches to dry at harvest.

I use those too but my problem is I need to hang 4 lights side by side and I only have 2 poles on the top of the tent.

You would think tent companies would sell spare parts but I guess that's not the case.

Get a piece of plywood or OSB that will cover the whole roof of the tent and drill holes in the wood where your two support poles are. Use heavy duty HVAC zip ties to attach the wood to the support poles and then you can put eye hooks anywhere on the wood where you want to hang something from.

Hopefully you are able to picture what I’m talking about. Sounds a bit confusing without seeing an example.

I like that idea, I did the same thing in my room with a drywall ceiling, minus the zip ties, anchors.

It’s super helpful since the tent poles are pretty limiting. I’ve even mounted wood on the sides by hanging it with rope ratchets from the top tent pole. Mounted my wall mount oscillating fan to the wood and raised and lowered it with the rope ratchets.

Thanks for all of the good ideas. I think ill go with the bars that are supposed to go on the sides of the tent. When summer comes and i'm only using 2 lights I can try them for their intended purpose.
