Description
Stop Tent Walls Bowing and Give Every Accessory a Solid Mount
The AC Infinity Grow Tent Mounting Bars are a set of four powder-coated steel bars that strap to the uprights of your grow tent, bracing the frame and giving you a sturdy rail at whatever height you choose. Fitted around the edge, they hold the canvas out against the negative pressure of strong extraction, so the tent keeps its full volume and airflow. Fitted across the tent, they carry clip fans, trellis netting and supplemental light bars exactly where the plants need them. Each set is cut to one tent footprint, from 2 x 2 ft (0.6 x 0.6m) up to 5 x 5 ft (1.5 x 1.5m).
What's Included
- Four steel mounting bars cut to your tent size (the 2 x 4 ft set has two long and two short bars)
- Hook-and-loop straps that fix each bar end to a tent upright
- Adhesive silicone grip pads in thin and thick versions, to suit different pole sizes
- Support clamps in two sizes, for poles of at least 16mm and at least 22mm, with machine screws and nuts
Key Benefits
- Keeps the tent's shape — braces the walls so extraction cannot draw them in, keeping full interior volume
- Rigid 2.0 cm steel bars — powder-coated to cope with a damp grow room
- Clamp-reinforced — the support clamps double each bar's rating from 0.9 kg to 1.8 kg, up to 5 kg across a clamped set
- Easy height adjustment — loosen the straps, slide and re-tighten as plants grow
- Two layouts — a perimeter frame against bowing, or cross bars for fans, lights and plant support
- Magnet-friendly steel — magnetic LED light bars fix straight on for inter-canopy lighting
Bowing Walls and Nowhere to Hang Your Kit
Run an inline fan hard enough to control heat and humidity and negative pressure pulls the tent walls inwards, pressing canvas onto the outer leaves and cutting the air exchange around the canopy. Meanwhile every clip fan, net and light bar needs a fixing point the corner poles rarely provide. A braced frame solves both, keeping walls taut and putting air movement and light where they do most for plant health.
How to Use
- Remove the tent walls from the frame before fitting, as AC Infinity advise
- Stick silicone pads to both bar ends, the same thickness each side, so the bar sits snugly on the poles
- Thread a strap through each bar-end opening, buckle outside and padded side in (one strap can take two bar ends at a corner)
- Wrap it round the upright, back through the buckle, and pull tight
- Add a support clamp to the pole under each bar end (16mm+ or 22mm+ size), flat side parallel to the tent wall
- Light accessories only — the bars do not replace the roof bars that hold your main grow light

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hang my main grow light from these bars?
No. AC Infinity are clear that the mounting bars are not a replacement for the tent's roof bars and are not built to carry an LED grow light or heavy ventilation equipment. Use them for clip fans, supplemental light bars, trellis nets and similar light accessories, within 1.8 kg per clamped bar.
Will they fit a tent that isn't made by AC Infinity?
Each set is cut for a standard footprint, from 2 x 2 ft (0.6 x 0.6m) to 5 x 5 ft (1.5 x 1.5m), and the straps wrap round the uprights with two thicknesses of grip pad and two clamp sizes to suit different poles. Compare the bar length in the specifications with your frame before ordering; AC Infinity's load ratings are quoted for their own CLOUDLAB tents.
Which set do I need for a 1.2 x 0.6m tent?
The 2 x 4 ft set. It has two 115.4 cm bars for the long sides and two 55.4 cm bars for the ends.
How do the bars stop my tent walls sucking in?
In AC Infinity's standard layout the bars run round the perimeter, bracing the uprights and giving the canvas something to sit against, so the negative pressure from your extractor fan cannot pull the walls inwards. The tent keeps its full internal volume, and elastic trellis nets can hook straight onto the side bars.
