Sensi I like that fan mount, but I dont have a piece like that with my tent
I looked online and apparently they come with the sunhut XL I can't find a direct website or parts list with numbers anywhere but any sunhut retailer should be able to get one to ya. Ill keep looking as well. It frustrates me that I can't find em I'd like.to get several just to have lol. If u have some sheet metal laying around a rough cut one.could be made pretty easily.

That fan mount is sweet! I just bought one of these growboxes, but the mounting position is sort of strange. In the way. I never thought about putting it in the corner though.


I picked up one of these equipment boards to put a fan on. I planned on putting wood behind it and screwing the fan mount into the wood with a couple small carrier bolts. I've never seen these so I figured I would share. Makes it easy to lean in a few feet and tuck some branches in. :)

Also, in the woodwork area, I built this guy recently.

Nice man. I've been doing construction and remodeling for a couple years now. I'd post pics but idk how my customers would feel about finding their kitchen or barn on Google and winding up here. lol.

Put a flood tray in there, cut a 2" hole in the deep end, put bucket under hole... Water.. Remove bucket when it's full. :) Works for soil, no back breaking work. Also brings my plants up higher and makes it much much easier to work on.

I suffer from lots of back pain, mainly lower back / hips. So staying bent over for long periods of time doesn't work out so well :(. This works though!

I ned one of those!
I have a 4x4 tray in mine, but I just scoop the run off out.

If you have a plan for that, or a cut list.....
I have thought about making one, but it wouldn't look like that without a plan or something lol.

thats the steel piece I used to mount my fan to the ceiling of my tent upside down, the steel plate came with my sunhut grow tent, if know somebody who can roll sheetmetal, they could make one, same with the light rail clips, make them a little thicker they would be alright, I think they flex to much and break with the light moving back and forth, thicker it wouldn't flex.

i also have the 4x4 version :)

I could give you a materials list. It's pretty eassssy. Ran me about 80-90 total at home depot after everything..


Although you do need a table saw. Or some saw capable of making somewhat precise cuts.

I had to get rid of my table saw when I moved.
I can still make clean cuts though.

nah man i got a screw driver it'll work :p
You definitly need a drill to drill out the holes to start otherwise your wood can/will crack. Also you need to drill a hole through the side frame 2x6, and into two 2x4 boards to fasten the legs to the frames. I accomplished this with a 3/8"x5" inch carrier bolt.


Carpentry like a baws lol. Making us look like bitches lol. I don't have the patience for screwdrivers anymore.
Impact drivers are AMAZING.

Regular drills pale in comparison. No more stripping screws OR over-torquing anything.
