I'm wondering if people have tricks for having fans and hygrometers and things supported in a tent.
I've hung fans from strings tied to the tent roof supports before because there's nothing to attach them to in the small space. This grow, I want to put a 4" hi-speed duct fan venting out of a port high on the tent. The only way that I can think to support this fan is to build a wooden "L" that sits on the roof, and hangs down past where I need the support, then cutting a hole to put the fan thru and mount to the wood from outside. It would be great if I could make or buy little shelves that grab the tent support poles to lock them where I want, then sit a small fan or meter on it, but I know of no way to make this happen.
How do you guys make use of vertical space in your tents?

not sure the size of your tent pole diameter but these will work (they make 2 sizes)

Simply snap onto the side tent pole (both sides ) cut pvc length as needed to
create a long center bar across the side. You may need a hose clamp to keep
it from sliding down

Once in place you can clip fans onto the long side length, If using the wing nut hose clamps
the support is easily moved up and down with just a quick loosen and retighten

That's great! I did an image search and found out that those are called snap-on tees. Found some for between 6-$10. And hose clamps should work perfectly, like you said, to tighten them if I'm trying to support something heavier. Great suggestion!

Not sure your location but the Wing nut hose clamps I could only find at HARBOR FRIGHT
The tees can be found at most home improvement big box stores, They sometimes have
the stock in 2 places since the larger tees are PVC and the smaller size are CPVC you may
have to ask were the CPVC is located

Oh at the box stores the Snap tees are approx 1.50 each

DIY better clip on fan for tents

I noticed when looking around that most clip on fans for tents suck. They don't oscillate, and the few that do seem to break quickly. Most clips won't hold onto a grow tent pole very well either. This is my simple solution. These fans are slightly larger and move more air, they oscillate and...

That's what I use for mounting to tubing

I did find some cheaper tees at home depot, and I also found these snap frames that can hold a solid sheet of 1/4" material that you can then mount things to.





I never would've put the two together in my head, but I can see how those mic stands would work once you say it. Found one just like the one in the pic for $20 online.

If you search for "key hose clamp", you can find those wing nut clamps all over the place. They also come in 4 and 6" sizes, so if they hold tight enough, I may replace the other hose clamps. I've found it to be a pain to deal with a drill or driver when installing the vents and fans.
