A photo of your tent and your fan would be helpful

Re: Wall mount fan in tent
I got 2 large wall mount fans with my tents. They are meant to mount on wall studs not tent poles. I thought about mounting them to pueces of plywood then attaching that to the pole, but the fans are too big anyway. Ill either bring them to my cabin or recoup some of the loss on kijiji

Yea I'm special I didn't get the issue.
Can you use some long zip ties and secure it around a post in the corner?

Maybe. I use plenty of zip ties in my tent and you can get them plenty strong, but for some things a wooden base is more stable. A moving obejct like a fan would benefit from this. In the end the fans I got were more suited to large rooms not medium sized tents. I bought smaller ones.

Yeah it's most definitely not that easy i have a 4x4 gorilla tent. I was thinking about mounting to a piece of wood. i just wanted to get feedback cause wasnt sure if wood would split with being in a humid environment

Use a good quality plywood. Even better would be a piece of PVC wich mills up just like softwood

Check with your tent manufacturer. I got an Agromax and they make control panels for all their tents to put fans and 2hatever else on

Throw a 2x4 in the corner and zip tie to a tent pole in one of the corners, going long ways of course. Then you can mount your fan into the 2x4
Hey pal. I came up with this little solution, been working a treat. I can move it up and down as the plants grow too. I used some 1x4 inch wood, I cut it to the size of the inside of the polls leaving a few ml either side so it would fit snuggly. I drilled a hole in each corner and a hole at the top of the wood above where I will mount the fan in the middle. I then screwed the fan onto the piece of wood. I put cable ties through the 5 holes and cabled tied the wood to the poles in the tent. I then used a ratchet hanger to clip onto the cable tie above the fan for extra support to help keep it in place.
This is what it looks like.
When you cable tie the wood to the tent poles, If you use two cable ties instead of one. I realised after I had already cable tied it that I had forgotten to use the extra one and have yet to get round to taking it back off lol. If you use two like I have on my scrog net here.

Zip ties and alluminum ducting tape have come in very very handy setting up 2 tents
