Any ideas for reducing the height of a tent?
Im gonna start a grow in my basement, it has 78" cielings anda less than flush floor. The tents i can find that are 4x8 are 80" tall. I could get 2 4x4 tents but they are 78" which leaves no wiggle room.
Thinking about cutting the vertical posts on a too tall tent and somehow joining the ends together to reduce the height. Not thick enough to weld so im thinking epoxy?
Any ideas?

I would find a diameter of tube just bigger than the tent pipe and use that as a sleeve. Couple of screws to keep things set in place and you should be golden :blsmoke:

If you can't find tubing the right size, find some wooden dowels that fit snug inside the pipe and hit it with a dab of epoxy.

Is it a used tent u already have, if not look on Amazon they have tents shorter than that.

have you considered just framing a room up and lining it with reflective material? Sound like you are trying to grow a bunch.

check out the gorilla grow tent "shorty" the extension kit makes it 5'8" and your max height is 6'6"

I have cut down the tent poles before and used a closed end stapler and black tape to sinch up the extra tent material. It works but it isn't great looking
