Heavy Duty Tent Frame

5'x 5' (60"x 60"x 80") Modified Grow Tent Frame I ditched the flimsy poles in my grow tent and now use wire shelving used for restaurants to support the tent itself. Only the top shelves are installed along with various sized hanger rails for stability. This allows for serious weight to be hung inside the tent including a cooling fan setup right above my LED quantum bars. Plus the shelving has endless locations to tie/fasten/strap/hang items like extension cords, oscillating fans, tools, sensors, etc. Installing the exhaust fan ON THE TOP of the tent was no problem with the shelving in place. I literally set in on top of the shelf and secured it using plastic ties. No more hanging the fan. Cost (in USD not including shipping): - 24" Hanger Rails 4 bucks (quantity 4) - 18" Hanger Rails 3 bucks (quantity 8) - 60" Hanger Rails 20 bucks (quantity 2) - 18"x 60" Wire Shelf 29 bucks (quantity 2) - 24"x 60" Wire Shelf 35 bucks (quantity 1) - 74" Posts (4 pack) 12 bucks (quantity 2) Total cost is 195 bucks not including shipping costs, which seems pricey considering I paid slightly less for the entire tent. BUT, the original frame supported 150 lbs on a good day, and these shelves are rated 450 lbs when correctly assembled as a full shelving unit. I think I can go 200 or even 250 if needed as a partially (incorrectly) assembled shelving unit. Obviously this setup is probably not condoned by the manufacturer. I will be adding two more LED setups in a few weeks.
