Greenhouse Roof Vent Diy

Placing two vents on two opposite sides of a greenhouse ensures cross circulation.

Greenhouse roof vent diy. If vents in the roof are not possible make sure to at least have a window to two you can open. Save the hinge pieces that slide into the peak of the roof and throw the rest away. The windows are designed to leak. Vents can be manual or automatic.

There are venting systems on the market that are powered by solar cells. Roof vents are also good as the hot air rises and the temperature in the greenhouse can be lowered in the summer simply by opening a vent. Ideally you want to have cross ventilation so two windows on two sides of the greenhouse work best.

Go out and get 4 oversize pieces of 1 4 plexiglas about 2 larger than the window vent opening. The greenhouse is complete. So you close the vents or windows at night and what happens the next morning. Join me for a tour and demonstration of the ventilation system.

I hope to have a lot of success growing over the years.
