Anyone know of any good pole fans?

[Yagirlsheugly]

So Ive been trying to look for fans for 4x4 Apollo horticulture tent... but all I see are wall mounted fans? I don’t mind using a wall mounted fan but how would I set it up? I don’t wanna drill holes in my tent or the wall? I purchased a clip on fan thinking it would clip onto the poles but it just falls right off? Any suggestions on fans ? Don’t want to do a standing oscillating fan only because I don’t think I’ll have enough room considering I’m using 5 gallon smart pots with six plants.

Use some duct tape on the clip on and make it stay.

Try secret jardins monkey fans. You can get them oscillating or not.

I used to have wall mounted fans mounted to my ceiling but that was in an 8x4.
I also played around with hanging a chain from the poles against a tent wall and mounted a piece of wood that hung with the wall mounted bracket screwed to that. Still bit too big for a 4x4.

Also had tower fans bungied horizontal.
Also floor fans pointing up under canopy. USB fans are good for that.
Also PC fans mounted in canopy between branches.

Monkey fans... They work great and don't slide down the poles.

(I like fans)

Get a 1" x 6" piece of pine and cut it fit. Drill two holes at the top and two at the bottom and zip tie it. Tale the 9" remaining piece and screw it to the board so you can mount the fan.

Thank you. I've been looking for a way to get my bigger oscillating fans mounted in my tent.

Make sure to use UV resistant zip ties on that. I have had the normal ones get brittle from grow lights in less than a year.

Good luck man, i bought 2 and both died in like 2 weeks, same with my roommate. Vivosun wouldnt even replace, just gave money back

Gear clamps through a piece of wood holds well on the poles.

I don’t fuck with tiny fans like that. They have upgraded since the first ones they released though and made right with every issue people had.

For sure, I wouldn't either but I'm using a small 2x4 tent. Those must be the new version, didnt even know they dropped. probably cop a couple of those lol

 

[CoB_nUt]

So the 2nd version is better? The small pole fans that is.

These are my favorite now. Locally, we have a store that sells Costco overstock, and you can get 40" tower fans for $20. Having them above the lights, help blow the warm air into the canopy and make the lights run ice cold.
