NO need to buy into such a expensive air system. Just two fans,Multi-speed will work.

For a tent of this size you would be ok with only an exit fan with or without the carbon filter. Two fans would work as well and provide better circulation but that is not necessarily needed. On my tent I have an exhaust vent in the top and I just tied the holes closed with the provided cords. There are three passive air inlets near the bottom of the tent that will let enough air in.

I would recommend it. One fan to duct the light and another for the carbon filter. I bought this as a "drying tent"Can't beat the price and great quality!!I put it up and down by myself. Love it

I don't think that would be necessary considering the size of the tent, your best bet would be to use a 4" fan with small scrubber evacuating the stale air and moisture out while you use a small clip fan to keep the air moving inside. Also be aware that anything beyond 250-300 HID watts is going to bring the temperature way up unless you have your vent running through a cool tube on the lamp. I hope that helps you out, good luck!!

No. The fact that you asked this question indicates that you should purchase a book on indoor growing with your tent.
1311583
You could but there's no need. One centrifugal fan should be enough for a passive intake/negative pressure setup.

You shouldn't have to a good 4inch adjustable exhaust fan should do. Pull air in thru the vents at the bottom of tent.

Two fans might work depending on the size of the shelter. I use for my tent that sleeps 10 and inside my house in the kitchen also.

It's all about how big/heavy the hood is. The tent is not the *most* strong, but has held up well, for me. As long as you don't get a monster-sized hood, you should be fine. I have 4 x 600w lights (close together) in mine, which works great, but (as with any enclosed garden) an exhaust fan is essential to keep the air cool and fresh. *Also, to update my original review: The tent is NOT waterproof (I found out the hard way!). The seams need to be caulked on the bottom to keep water from running right through. Likewise, the seams are NOT light-proof. I recommend that you tape any seams you don't use regularly.

As others have stated, there are indicator (s) on the housing that dictate which way air travels. This is normally found on any fan out there. The rear fan is generally set up for exhaust as it follows the flow of air thru a case (the front is an intake, rear exhaust...air flows from the front to the back). In my opinion, a top exhaust fan is needed as well (remember hot air rises) if your case supports it. Remember this Mr. Thompson, as a rule of thumb the intake/exhaust setup should generally have equal numbers (if four fans, two should be exhaust, two intake). Go to www.tomshardware.com and type in the search "fan configuration". This will give you a better overall understanding of the physics of case pressure, fan setup, rpms, fan speed, noise, etc. The debate of the mighty fan configuration is as diverse and sometimes heated as religion...so prepare yourself.....and welcome to the wonderful world of "Why is there smoke coming from my case"? Do your homework and read reviews on the multitudes of fans out there and you will end up with a balanced case.

The tent has plenty of screens and a roof vent that works well. I would not try to sleep in it with the vent not open all of the way or it will be stuffy. I found that with the roof vent open and the screens partially open it does fine in both summer and winter. The tent handles the rain without any leaks and is a breeze to setup even by yourself. I recommend putting a tarp underneath it to protect the floor from anything that might puncture it. The tent handles the wind really well and makes camping enjoyable by not having to fight with poles coming apart. Best tent for your money in my opinion!

I am very happy with mine for those purposes. The nice part is that you don't have to have the fan blowing right on you. It can be facing any direction and you feel a comfy flow of air without being annoyed by a blast. I got 2 on sale and love them. For that size room, you will be fine with the small one.

This tent i use Its great. unfortunately It only has one 4" sleeve But you can run a 4" fan for intake or exhaust. I use this one In-Line Duct Air Booster Fan 4" Suncourt Inc.$32.26 With that said Its set up for 6" fans so, thats the main way to go. i run a 600 watt cool tube with two 6" Can Max Fan Mixed Flow Inline Fan, 6-Inch 334 Cubic Feet Per Minute.$137.18 There are others too, i use to use, these VenTech DF6 6" Duct Fan 240 CFM $25.95 all here on amazon Also, has an 8" sleeve, which i use to directly bring ac from the roof rent into the tent. I use this fan for that. Hydrofarm ACFB8 8-Inch In Line Booster Fan $48.95. Great air circulation. but you can just use the two 6" sleeves with a cool tube and be just fine. or any air cooled hood for that matter. good luck.

We had someone install the fan for us, so I can't answer you exactly. I do know they thought they were going to need to install certain vents but then were able to use the vents that were already there (which were the original vents of the house that was built in the 70s).The fan works great!

no its not included with the tent you have to buy that seperate... Good luck

you really do not need them, its that easyor check the manufacturers web site. This tent is awesome. I have never used a tent, and it was easy for me to put together :)

It is not necessary to ventilate your tent with this heater. However, there is not a temperature regulator so it can get very hot I side if you don't monitor the temperature. Awesome product though, kept my family warm several times.

I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

Hi- depending on the light you will use, most likely you'll need one intake and one exhaust fan, I use this LEDwholesalers GYO2402 6-Inch 240 CFM Air Duct Inline Hydroponic Booster ... for the exhaust because it fits the cut-out in the tent. I just use a piddly little fan in front of a vent for intake.

I'm personally not running any fans but I would personally want to support the fan somehow how cause the tent and frame aren't the strongest but then again it might be able to support the fan just sitting on top of the tent

Yes there are closures and small props that allow for airflow without compromising privacy. If you are looking at this tent you will not be dissapointed. As a two person tent it is perfect. Just enough room for two people to sleep comfortably. Be sure to get a ground tarp it will not only keep ground moisture away but will help preserve the tent base.

Yes. It is a summer tent so the top screen is intended as ventillation. With the fly installed it allows for fresh air without a breeze. Not a 4 season tent by any means. I would imagine you could put a towel or piece of material over the top vent if you really wanted to cover it.
