can I not put that wooden part around (at least one side of it) so that there is more air flow? or is it needed for support?

The trim is basically for a nice look, and the flat boards are screwed in individual to stay in place, so yes I'd say you could.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to, in all honesty. I don't think it would really have an effect on how the frame would hold up. I don't think it is all that necessary for support.

You can short term. But for longer it would probably need a futon/slatted base for air circulation. FYI I'm a side sleeper and found it uncomfortable.

If you have at least the minimum width for the fan as listed in its specifications, you can build a simple frame to hold the fan. I did this using 1 x 3 Red Oak and it worked wonderfully and it allowed me to use the Storm Guard feature to close my window when I am away. I went to the Air King site and they expressly discourage mounting the fan at a 90 degree angle to its intended installation. This is why I made a small frame within my sliding window casement. LOVE THIS FAN.

Whatever place you put it, be sure it is secure. It should also complement air flow for dust collection and heat or ac sources? My concern is also access to changing the filters as they clog? It's an odd size filter. I'm considering making a pre filter frame to use cheaper filters from the box store. Good luck, be safe!

I have those same dimensions, though, in a big wooden box. It's overkill definitely but works really well. I have no ventilation issues at all. I did need to put two HUGE intake ports in though, as there is A LOT of negative pressure. Since you're using a tent you should make sure you can add more intakes if needed. Don't burn your fan out. And make sure you can support the sides of your tent because they will suck in like crazy.

There is a small spot for a fan on the side might be able to make something work , I just left it alone

Might be a little bit small to move much air for what you might be trying to do, but it could be mounted to a wooden base and mounted to a wall

I face the intake part out. I believe that way your not blocking the air from entering the filter.

Solid. I put ribbed side up to let air flow around the dishes and glasses and so on. I guess you could put ribbed side down and let air flow around wood instead

It will slightly restrict the airflow just because it has parts sort of in the way, but air can easily flow past those parts. If you need to block airflow more thoroughly, you will need a separate mechanism to do this.

Yes, but keep it away from edges and lay it on the side for better stability.

Good question, sets me thinking of doing the same.Actually there is no catch, only a handle. You can try installing some C-brackets, or those 8-shaped hole brackets, and mount fan on the car ceiling. Because the fan is curved behind, the air intake can enter from the sides behind.Cheers, Ong, Singapore

The fan is blocked, but it has adjustable feet on the bottom to allow it to not be blocked. Also, it is still able to keep things cool regardless if the fan is blocked or not - in my experience so far.

No. Not what it is designed to accomplish. Drilling into the sides, or placing a clamp around it for holding the wood might work, but again, not within the design parameters.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

No. The sides are where the intake vents are located. This would cut the airflow in half and make the purifier not as effective. It also would be really unstable as the sides are not square.

yes, ventilation on both sides, but not the top (I don't keep my zipped up usually), the sides are firm..not hard per se. It doesn't fall over at all and it does stand up (the sides) when you put it down.
