I like Air King fans. I have a 16" wall mount style in my 4x8. Really pushes the air around and very well made.

I found the wall mount one would save some room for plants, but Im not sure how to mount it.
I end up using normal one without stand, and hang it up side down the the side of tent
I would like to know how you hang your wall mount fan on the tent
I see they have some hanger that hang on the wall with screen.
but my location is far from US. would like to know if I can DIY
thanks in advance

I just put up a 2x4 in the corner of the tent and taped it to a pole. The fan comes with a small bracket to mount on something flat and vertical.

I have a 12" wall mount. Even on the slowest setting it can be a bit much for my 5x9 space. It causes the leaves to canoe curl and it looks like heat stress....

So have to make sure the fan is well above the canopy...dont want it right on the plants...

Yes, good point. I have mine up towards the top of the tent blowing at an angle down. I also have a small 8" that sits at the plant level, but it's really there to help draw in air into the tent.

What do you hang the fans with? String?

u love me ....in the non gay way

old filled paint cans ........get a few clean them off make look spiffy (fuller the better if empty fill with sand gravel nails bolts lead shot)
pine fur strip 1 inch home depot 8 feet for 98 cents,,,,,,,,u need 1 per can cut it to 5 foot
paint can on the floor 5 foot pine strip next to it standing strait up .....wrap it with duct tape .....u made a stand that can go anywhere in the tent taken up little space but given u the hight u need for the life of plant

something like that clipped on to it and u move it up and down as needed........place where needed ......and if u are worried of tip overs u can place in the corner just drill a hole tho the pine fur strip feed some masonline tho it and tie it off to the pole for the tent

I just got a hurricane super 8 wall mount and w stand fan. One oscillates in a figure 8 and the other a w. Going to use them when construction is complete. Excited to see them in action.
