Plan to use a gas (propane) heater in an Alton Amateur Wood greenhouse. I
Understand i must ventilate top and bottom with a minimum (33 square

inches)
vent. Plan to do the bottom vent in wood panel at the foot of the door

I think best place for the apex vent is prolly opposite the door replacing
the 2 small top glass triangular panels .

BUT, any ideas how i can vent at the apex and minimise heat loss at the

same
time?

There is no such thing as ventilating without heat loss.

But you could get the loss to a very low level by a heat exchange
system. Seems a bit over-elaborate for a greenhouse though ;-)
