How to Keep Your Greenhouse Cool With Automatic Greenhouse Vent Openers
Greenhouse too hot? And you forget to open the greenhouse vents again!? With automatic greenhouse vent openers, stop overheating your greenhouse for good.
Greenhouses are designed to capture solar energy. But too much of the sun’s heat can be a problem.
The sun is a powerful source of energy and a small greenhouse can reach blistering temperatures in just a few hours.
The last thing you want to have happen is for your plants to perish because they literally were cooked.
The easiest and most reliable way to avoid this is to install automatic greenhouse vent openers.
Why You Need Greenhouse Vents Or Windows
Greenhouses need to be designed to not only capture solar energy but also adequately ventilate excess heat if temperatures get too hot.
You should always make sure you have adequate vents in the roof of your greenhouse as heat rises and you want that heat to escape.
Greenhouse roof vents work really well as they are located where hot air gathers naturally at the peak of the roof.
If vents in the roof are not possible, make sure to at least have a window to two you can open.
Ideally you want to have cross ventilation so two windows on two sides of the greenhouse work best.
However you should not leave the vents or windows open at nighttime as you’ll lose any heat gain and cool your greenhouse too much.
So you close the vents or windows at night and what happens the next morning: you forget! Now your greenhouse overheats and if you’re unlucky, you lose some plants.
Or you forget to close the vents at nighttime and your plants suffer if the night is too cool.
Instead let’s automate your vents and windows using automatic greenhouse vent openers. Set them and forget them.
