How to push out sucked in mylar tent walls?

These don't make much sense to me, financially. That says 2 per side, so it'd cost just as much to fully equip a 4×4 tent with these as what you'd paid for one. If you have a smaller tent than a 4x4, just get a larger one with that $$$, BAM more space, rather than trying to doctor a poor situation. Plus you'll have your old tent as a spare.

If you have a big tent, just make some for a few bucks. Get 2 pieces of pvc that slide in each other, some T and 90° fittings to make's the end brackets, cut a piece of pipe in half to make the ends that rest on the poles, some set screws or clamps. You could build a whole tents worth of those for the price of 1, maybe 1 1/2 of those..... and not wait until April.

...(pic #1) Some kinda conduit holding clips. Was found in the electrical section. Lightbulb! They looked like they'd clip perfectly to tent poles.. So I bought two to test out. They fit. So I bought 6 more. For a total of $4. I used 3/16 steel rods that I had laying around. U could use 1/8" or 1/4" or anywhere in between. Depending on tent size this could run anywhere from $20 to a bunch. I just happened to have some that fit perfectly. I cut the rods to about 1" longer then width of tent. Bowed a little. So when u clip them on they will bow outwards like 4-5". This not only held my walls from caving in but placed in the right spot gave me MORE grow space in my little 4x2 tent. Although 48"x24" at the bottom and top, my "canopy space" has increased to around 56" and 30" at center. U can also moved them up and down. Add more. Remove them in 5 seconds if needed.. I am stoked about this and just thought I'd share my recent discovery.

Hey everyone. I have a grow tent, with an exhaust fan and passive intakes.
The walls suck in, reducing my grow space.
What would you suggest I use to prop them out?
An easy solution would be some long straight pipe or something I run from one corner rod to a neighboring rod, holding the wall flat.
A better solution would be something that bends out a few cm in the middle, giving me a concave wall (from an inside view). Any ideas?
I'm thinking I'll head up to Bunnings and look for some sturdy wire, and would like to hear alternative suggestions.

5 years later??? I'm confused.

How about 2 4packs of cheap cam lock cargo straps. Drawn diagonally between corners with 2 straps per side. Increases structural rigidity and prevents contraction of walls. Only issue is you have minor barrier entering the tent. LMAO. It's late.
