Good attic tent brand?

I’m looking at 150x150x160 attic tents. Can anyone recommend a half decent brand?

it’s gonna be a tight squeeze so imagine it will be a nightmare putting it up.

Ive got a 120x60x150 up there now, and that was bad enough.

Unless your attic is climate controlled you are going to have extreme temperature swings.

A tent is a tent, they all do the same thing. I’d go with an ac infinity or mars hydro, good thick outer shell and serviceable zippers. You’re biggest issue is gonna be temps. Even in cooler climates attics get pretty warm, you’re going to need air conditioning. Especially if you’ve got enough lighting 150x150 is gonna need at least 650w led or 1000w hid if you plan on using the whole area.

It’s boarded and insulated with 2 skylights and a radiator.

Gets hot in summer, but if I open the skylights the air current from down stairs cools it down.

Winter temps are not a problem.

Just tried to buy a 650w led but the new card verification system had a 15 year old work mobile number. Now my card is blocked and I have to go in branch to get it unblocked.

Depends where you live. For the next week the temperature doesn't drop below 11c, it actually takes minimal effort to keep it sweet.

I got a 120x120x160 attic tent from eBay for £95, I am very happy with it.

This is the type Ive been looking at.

Was if difficult to put up in the attic? I imagine a PIA.

Ive ordered a decent light so I can run it dialled down to reduce heat.

Is the tent really necessary?

It was one of these.


It wasn't too bad to put up. We gave it a test run downstairs first.

I just hope it fits. Weird one to measure for and it’s gonna be tight.

Appliances direct have a freestanding air conditioning unit at virtually half price at the moment (£199), I’m tempted.

I have never needed to use aircon. My loft has good natural airflow and I don't grow indoors during the summer.
