Default Lark Greenhouse

Yes, 100o is way too hot. You should look into buying a vent or an air mover or
an exhaust fan. If you do a search on evaporative cooling, you may be able to
build one yourself. You can also drape shade cloth over the top on the south
side.

Aren't there any vents? My greenhouse gets to be about 150 degrees if I

forget
to open it in the morning...oops, just did that today. Everything is

okay. As
soon as I opened it up the air started moving.

This is what their website says:

Greenhouse
If you are an avid backyard gardener or professional nurseryman, this is

the
greenhouse for you. Built with the same rugged durability and strength of

all
our buildings, this greenhouse is reasonably priced and versatile. The

standard
unit comes with a galvanized steel frame, all bronze brazed joints, and is

set
atop a floorless pressure treated 2x6 frame base that is termite proof

and,
under normal conditions, will not rot. The exterior is covered with

fiberglass
panels manufactured specifically to provide gardeners faster, more

vigorous
plant growth and quicker starts on cuttings and seedlings. The

professional
greenhouse fiberglass is available in aspen green or clear, has no

shadowy,
unproductive hotspots, and blocks out many of the harmful ultra-violet

rays of
the sun. The corners are finished with sun reflective silver aluminum,
eliminating hot spots even in the corners. The Lark Greenhouse is

available in
sizes from 6x8 to12x24 and can be outfitted with an assorment of options

to
satisfy any growing need. When you are in the market for a greenhouse,

select
the one that has been impressing gardeners since 1973, the Lark

Greenhouse.

I recently purchased one of these and it is in a sunny location and gets

too
hot. I was wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations as to

how
I can regulate the temperature in it. I just have it the way it comes and

is
there any accessories that it needs to get it up n running?

Thanks
