Modify greenhouse
« on: September 18, 2012, 18:13 »
Hi
I have a 6 x 4 poly carb greenhouse with no window or other vent bar the door. I need to increase the ventilation and thought I could buy spare parts to make one or 2 roof windows. A few minutes google searching has found nothing. Anyone done this bit of DIY and can advise?
Or would it be better to install 2 solar fans to opposing panes instead?
Any thoughts welcome. :)

I would have thought that the apex* of the wall opposite the door would be the place to put a vent or just leave a section out during summer.

*pointy bit at the top  :)

I have made a 'hit and miss' vent  by drilling several 30mm holes in 6mm polycarb in the door.
Handy for windy days when you need ventilation but not enough to cause damage.

That's exactly what I do, remove the top pointy pane of glass  :D
