Connecting intake fan to my tent's mesh for most efficient ventilation

So as a couple people suggested, I bought an intake fan, and am using it to bring air in from a different section of my closet. How can I stick the ducting to my tent's mesh? Is tape fine? Any other ventilation tips?😉😀

You could put a flange inside the tent facing out, tape the edges of the flange flat to the tent inside wall with duct tape and attach duct hose to the flange with hose clamp + tape. Or just skip the flange and tape the edges of the hose with duct tape but it might not be secure. If you forego the flange, you could push the hose in through the tent and run a small bbq skewer or stick the size of a bottle rocket stick across through the hose like a line going horizontally through a circle (the vent duct) then tape the stick/skewer and hose edges flat to the tent sealing all cracks. This would prevent the hose from falling loose easily without obstructing airflow. This application is literally what duct tape is for no matter what you do, seal it good for those odiferous runs. Best luck

I would get a piece of rigid foam or heavy cardboard and cut a hole in the center for your fan. The foam/cardboard can be over size so it extends to the floor to support the weight. Then you can tape, sew or use a few zip ties to hold it in place.

You have a roubd port at the bottom of the tent to put the intake fan in - if you position it correctly it will just sit in the round port and suck air in to the tent - put a pair of tights over it or grt a bug mesh to stop it blowing pests in.

I use cable ties attached to the steel frame of the tent.
