S848 4x8 Grow Tent 96"x48"x80" High Reflective Mylar Tent

The VIVOSUN S448 4x4 is a well‑built grow tent with a strong metal frame and good‑quality materials that offer excellent durability; I bought mine in 2019 and it’s still going strong. Assembly is easy, and the tent delivers great value for the money. The zipper works as intended, though it needs to be handled gently to ensure long‑term use. Overall, it’s a reliable, sturdy, and practical tent for any indoor grow setup. I use it every year to overwinter my tropical plants and also to have my veggies ready for growing season after the last frost.

I got this today to help keep light out of my room and also house one of my more specialized sundew that need much higher humidity than my desert air can hold (along with 3 more on the way.). Assembly was quick and easy with directions specific for every model. Poles were fastened with plastic holders and packed well. Lighting is incredible inside the tent! The size is perfect for my shelves to easily fit inside along with an evaporative humidifier. It is sturdy, the zippers are EXCELLENT. I wonder if other zipper reviews were from the old model and not this "upgraded sbs zipper" feature? Mine are flawless. I've included a closeup window view of the plants. It's very clear and see-through, not foggy at all. It's holding temperatures and humidity levels very stable and accurately. I haven't fine-tuned it just yet, but am testing various humidity settings. I am VERY impressed with it's performance so far. There is no light leak what do ever. Finally, I can sleep well again, while still being able to lift the flap and enjoy my plants. I would like to test this in an extreme humidity test for 70-90% humidity for pitcher plants.

I cannot believe how much value, the detail and build quality. Once you know one VS product it all makes sense, learning nuances in layouts and designs... and fundamental likenesses, lending to sturdy construction, consistencey and uniformity of all products. I like NO LIGHT LEAKAGE, bidirectional safety. Would love to see camping equipment, what Vivosun could do with a tent ; Super impressed. Like a wardrobe easy to want one of each.

I'm generally of the opinion "Buy cheap, buy twice". However, this is my first grow tent and I didn't want to waste a lot of money learning which features are important to me. I've since bought other Vivosun products and they seem to try hard to be responsive to customer needs (smart!) and provide quality products at an attractive price points. So...why buy a grow tent at all? For me, I bought an "Exhale 365" bag for CO2 augmentation, but had no way to keep the CO2 near the plants to do any good. The most important thing I learned about grow tents is that the tent itself is just the beginning. I also needed a ventilation system, carbon filter, clip fans, ratchet hangers, ducting material, screw clamps, lights, power strips w/timer feature, fan speed regulator, zip ties, and a CO2/RH/Temp meter w/logging feature. Another thing I learned is that most grow tents, are engineered to a particular configuration, but they don't tell you what that configuration is! It may be intuitively obvious to an experienced grower, but not to a NooB like me. My "guess" is that the Vivosun grow tent is made for an inline HID lamp and filter, but that's not what I have. I have two (2) Viparspectra 450w LEDs lamps that I thought would provide ample coverage..hung lengthwise. However, I now believe that at 24x48x60 grow tent needs at least 1200w total to provide the most desirable coverage and canopy penetration. Otherwise, your plants may stretch into the lights. I bought a third Viparspectra 450w...with the idea of hanging them widthwise, but I will need to remount the carbon filter and vent hose to the center support to hang the lights the way I want. This brings me to the fan. I bought a carbon filter, ducting, and a 4" fan from the hydro store. I used the Vivosun supplied straps to secure the carbon filter to the upper back left frame pole. I used a screw clamp to secure the ducting to the filter, zip tied the ducting to the upper back frame pole and ran it to the fan. The fan didn't line up with the 6" hole to the right, so I had to use a ratchet hanger to secure the fan to the frame and lower it so it aligned with the hole. I screw clamped another piece of ducting to the output of the fan which I ran out of the hole. The 4" fan is too strong for the 24x48x60 tent at full speed so I had to add a dimmer switch to throttle it back. That's another thing...it would be nice if Vivosun offered a 24x48x72 tent so lights can be raised higher. Additionally, this tent is not designed for clip fans...as the fat, plastic clips have nothing to clip to. I resolved this dilemma by removing the clips and suspending the fans with ratchet hangers (actually, an effective solution). I thought it would be nice to have squeeze clamps that fit just around the poles so the fans could be secured and moved simply by squeezing the clamp and sliding the fans up or down. The tent if fairly easy to set up. However, the instructions are quite terse. You really need more room to assemble the tent than a 24x48x60 inch space. Once the frame is assembled, you have to open the tent up, attach the top of then canvas to the top of the frame, then roll the tent to its side then upside-down to "roll" the tent over the frame. Zip it up and turn it right-side up...and you're done! The instructions don't describe this process well. You're pretty much on your own. This tent has many "options" designed around a HID lamp solution. However, if you're using LEDs and using the tent to capture CO2, it doesn't make much sense to have floor vents...as CO2 is heavier than oxygen and nitrogen and would leak out. The floor vents don't seem to make much sense for photosensitive species that need periods of complete darkness to flower. My tent doesn't have any stitching issues described in other reviews. I really like the high quality zippers and the overlapping flaps to keep light out. However, the stitching around the velcro of the vent flaps and the window feature can let some light in. I duct taped them all shut and have a very dark tent. That's the next thing...the window. What a hokey feature! The plastic is hard to look through and at a level for a child or someone in a wheelchair...not someone 6'2". My zippers meet at the upper left-hand corner. If I want to observe my plants, I unzip along the top and peer in when the lights are on. If you need to look at your plants during sleep time, and have a green light in your room, fine...but why not just unzip the top and get an unobstructed view. All the window does is let in light around the seams, so I duct taped it shut. I'm not saying the window isn't a nice feature for some, but I shouldn't be forced to buy the "handicapped" model if it doesn't meet my needs. Btw, if you can't go 12 hours without looking at your plants, perhaps you should forego the grow tent and spend your money on a psychiatrist, instead. The zippers are nice, but they don't flow all that smoothly with the light flaps on the inside of the tent. I find that if I run my fingers inside (to push the light flaps away) as I zip, the zippers flow much more smoothly. Of course, this requires two hands to zip it up. I really like the velcro strap to hold the door out of the way when unzipped. However, it would be nice if there were a second velcro strap on the inside of the tent to hold it in place as I try to zip it back up. As I mentioned, it helps to run your hand ahead of the zipper to keep the light flap out of the way, but you can't do that when you're like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke...holding the door up top with one hand as you zip with the other from the bottom...and the zipper getting constantly stuck on the light flap. With all that said, here's my review... Pros: 1. Easy to assemble (once you know how to assemble it). 2. Sturdy and well constructed. 3. Vents close up tight. The tent sucks in about 2" all the way around from negative air pressure. 4. No light pollution once vents and window are duct-tapped shut. 5. The drip pan is a nice feature! Cons 1. Terse instructions 2. No discussion of necessary additional equipment or how the tent is designed for that additional equipment. 3. Short (a 72" model would be nice!) 4. No windowless option 5. No strap to hold the door in place while zipping up.

This is the first time I have been excited to write a review. This tent kicks ass. Buy it. The quality is top notch. Vivosun payed attention to every detail. Let’s start with the packaging. The tent poles had holders so when you cut the plastic off they don’t fall everywhere. In the box they supplied straps for your carbon filter. Everything about this tent was thought out. vivosun’s quality is the best. I read reviews that other tents are thin and tear easily. Not with this one. The tent seems to be high quality and well made. Attention to detail is where I’m so impressed

I LOVE this 60"x32"x80"" grow tent!!! The tent material is thick, heavy duty zipper, the metal bars are very sturdy! I also like it unzips 3 sides of the grow tent. No light leaks either. The corners are reinforced which is not reflected in the picture. I really like there is not a middle horizontal bar around the perimeter, makes it SO much easier to get to a plant in the back of the tent, or pulling one out. Very easy to assemble, I assembled this in 30 minutes by myself including the canvas! The instruction pamphlet was perfect, just look for your specific model. Very happy with this tent. Thank you VivoSun for coming through on a quality grow tent!

These are amazing tents, I had 2 for 3+ years. They are quite sturdy, plenty of openings for vents, wires, durable. Couple of issues I had 1. With enough spills and standing water under the saucers, the floor tray kinda falls apart. Top layer peels off and it soaks through to the floor. I wish they were selling replacement floor trays, but can’t find them other than as part of the whole kit. 2. On one of my tents the zipper catches on to the material covering up the zipper all the time. Annoying having to remove it, but otherwise the zipper still is functioning fine after 3 years. Apart from the tent itself, I was not able to use it without the ductwork/filter/fan, plants were getting moldy/wilting, so had to get all that; I don’t have clip fans, but probably a good idea to add - for better ventilation and to promote auto-pollination for self-pollinating plants, I was a bit worried that too much load is sitting on one outlet - fan, 2 led lights, sometimes I add bug zipper for ground gnats. This is a great year-around indoor entertainment for someone enjoying gardening; I know some get it for other purposes, but I’m not much interested in that. The ability to grow your own organic vegetables in winter is quite fun.

This is the first grow tent I have ever bought, so It's not like I'm an old salt or something, but I am quite pleased with what I got for my money. I bought this tent to work as a mother room for cloning my medical marijuana plants. I have a commercial grower's license in my state and I'm trying to build a business out of my home. I've got an extra bedroom that I use for a flower room and a cabinet in the living room that I use to root my cuttings, but I had to come up with yet another place to grow some mother plants and I needed it in a hurry. I got on Amazon and started looking for a grow tent. The most common sizes came in multiples of four, like 2x4, 4x4 et cetera. My home is small and my space limited so a 4x4 was out, but I didn't think that a 2x4 would be enough tent for my situation. So I settled on the Vivosun 3x3 tent and I'm glad I did. The tent is a lot bigger than I thought it would be really. There is ample space for my diy flood and drain system and I feel like four medium plants will be very comfortable inside. I haven't used the "tool holder", but I feel like it may be a nice addition. The tool holder itself does seem cheaply made and I don't know how durable this particular part will be in the long run. As I read on other reviews, the sock tubes for ventilation are very tight. I put a rigid 6" duct coupler through the top hole on the left side and it was quite a squeeze, but I took my time and managed to get it in there without ripping anything. Inside I hung my Vivosun 440cfm fan which I think will provide plenty of fresh air to my moms. Unlike other reviewers, I think that the tube fitting tightly is a good thing. It will help avoid air and light leaks, and provides some small amount of lateral support for the fan itself. When I hooked up my "1200 watt" LED inside I did discover some pinprick light leaks, about a dozen or so on the door of the tent. I can't imagine these tiny holes allowing enough light in for anything and I'm not even subtracting a star for it. You actually have to move your head around and be looking at it from just the right angle to even notice them, and even in today's technological age manufacturing defects are part of life. Perfection is only a concept. Overall the tent seems like a good quality item, and it saved me at least some money and a great deal of time over building a wooden cabinet for my mothers. Only time will tell how well this will hold up but I am very satisfied with my purchase and I can't imagine getting much more of anything, ever for the price I paid. I'm really kind of taken aback with what I ended up getting for my money and I wouldn't hesitate to order another twenty just like it if I needed them.

Super cadeau pour les fan de plante tropicales type monstera ou orchidée et j'en passe, offert à ma copine qui est passionner par la culture de ses plantes rares, la toile est d'une trés bonne qualiter, le revetement est au top ! Franchement tres bonne qualité !

Muy completo, fácil de montar y de mantener. El forro de aluminio está perfectamente cosido al forro exterior y lo hace bastante robusto. Que se puedan sacar las vigas centrales es un puntazo porque si tienes que mover el foco o cambiar cualquier cable, no es necesario desmontarlo todo. Tiene varias ventanas y salidas con cierres ajustables. En general es un buen armario.

The 150X150 easily accommodates 4ea 12gal pots. I put it together by myself. Completely blocks all light from entering or escaping. Love the quality of the zippers. Plenty of access portals. Love the extra height you get. Just bought the 150X80X120 as a drying tent. I think the material is a bit lighter in weight. Both are solid purchases.

Set this up for a breeding project and it's been solid since day one. Assembly was easy, no bent poles or missing parts. Mylar lining and zips are holding up well with no complaints, and the observation window works smoothly. Genuinely impressed by the floor tray. My basement recently flooded and the tray kept everything inside dry even though the underside was soaked. It's not a guarantee against a proper flood, but it gave real extra protection when it mattered. Tent seems well enclosed too, no light leaks and no smell escaping. One small feature that's made a real difference day to day is the internal tool pocket, handy for quick access without digging around. Good for growers at any level, the build quality and small practical touches make it easy to recommend.
