Ventilation is essential in a greenhouse to promote healthy, disease free growth. Suitable for both aluminium and timber greenhouses, we offer Roof, Side and Louvre Vent Openers, which are fitted with a black cylinder that enables the opening temperature to be adjusted between 15 and 25 degree C
Our timber Potting Bench & Veggie Store are attractive and useful additions to either the greenhouse or potting shed.

Hi

Placing a vent on each wall will maximize the ability of the greenhouse to pull in air. It won't matter what direction the wind is blowing; there always will be a vent facing it. For aesthetic purposes, try to measure and center the vent equally on each wall.

Thanks

Hi

In a greenhouse a good ventilation is essential, even over the winter, to avoid a built-up of stuffy or damp, stale air and to control temperature levels. The area covered by ventilations should be equal to at least one sixth of the floor area. There are few types of ventilation methods that you could use in your greenhouse, depending on the type of greenhouse that you have.

Few models of greenhouse are supplied with enough ventilations as standard, so you might need to order some additional air vents, hinged and louver windows or extractor fans when buying a new greenhouse. This type of additional ventilations are difficult to be add after you buy the greenhouse so is better to order them before you buy the greenhouse. This extra ventilation is mostly needed if you are going to use paraffin or bottled gas heating systems.

Thanks
