Old Reviews Quick photo review of the $82 LED Wholesalers tent

[AndyBotwin]

I recently purchased the LED Wholesalers tent from Amazon.com:

I know that several AFN members are using this tent, and several more have asked about it. It's a good size for autos, and at $82 shipped, the price is right. I'm still setting mine up so this isn't a long-term review. But I did snap a few shots during setup for those who want to see it in more detail. As I begin growing in the tent, I'll add more comments to this thread.

Frame is painted white steel with plastic corner pieces:



Top and bottom sections are the same:



Final assembly of the frame. Using some weatherproof adhesive or duct tape on the joints adds strength:



Tent slips around the frame fairly easily:



One vent in the ceiling and one in the upper left rear. Both 4":



Intake vents in the lower rear and lower right:



Air & power cord intake in the lower left:



Removable tray at the bottom to catch fluids:



Two sliding bars at the top for hanging lights, fans, etc.:



I'm not satisfied with the bars at the top, so I think I'll attach some closet shelving to the top frame. That will give me many more attachment points for hanging, and will add some structural rigidity to the whole thing:

I'm still equipping the tent for the maiden voyage, but I did complete the shelving addition that I mentioned before. I'm happy with the way that it turned out, as I now have a more rigid tent ceiling, limitless attachment points for hanging lights & accessories, and the ability to store lightweight items on the outside of the tent. I purchased a piece of 4' x 20" shelving just like pictured above. I needed to cut off a couple of inches in length to be able to fit it under the existing frame, and some of the inner supports had to be snipped out to allow the top vent to pass through. The whole thing is held in place by ~25 zip ties. I also purchased a second piece of the shelving and placed it underneath the tent. That allows me to slide the whole thing without fear of collapse if I ever need to rearrange it in my room.

Wish the prices in Brazil were as acessible as they are in the USA... tents like these cost A LOT here...

gsbm, buy some 2x2 wood to make a frame then spray glue a space blanket to some plywood to use for the sides. costs cheaper, and is just as effective.

Not a bad tent at all. I got two tents myself ATM. Wonder how you feeling this tent bro?

No complaints whatsoever, and I'm really liking the size. :thumbs: Perfect for 3-6 autos depending on the size of the plants, but small enough that ventilation is cheap & easy. The zippers and everything else are like new after a couple months of use.

Sounds good. Thinking of picking one up soon!
