DIY Oscillating fan hitting sides of tent...Ideas?

[Deftone]

So other than my exhaust fan in my grow tent, I have a small little oscillating fan that clips onto any of the poles that keep the tent erect.
Problem is, it doesn't have enough room to oscillate back and forth because it's in the corner. Any know how I could extend the fan away from the corner, giving it room to do it's back and forth sweeping?

Am I making sense here? LOL

Could you clip it to one of the ceiling poles and point it downward?

Then it's just blowing the back of all my lighths, and not hitting the plants.

I cut a section of "quarter round wood trim" and laid it across the top bars of the tent as essentially another cross bar. It's thin enough to fit between the bars and the fabric of the roof. The odd shape gives clip on items a good, hard, 90 degree edge to grab onto as well. It's also easy enought to cut by hand if you haven't got power tools.

Lowes or Home Depot should have it pretty cheap.

Your lights cover the entire area of your tent?!? That can't be good for heat.

I use some 1/8" x 1" aluminum flat stock, readily available at most hardware stores.

Ah! That's so obvious now that I see it. Great idea.

I got one of these mounts that you can put the Lil Blizzard Oscillating fans on. Will have it installed next run. But when I had the Monkey fan before it just barely
touched each corner of the tent when running.
