Automatic vent?

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

Well the frame is FINALLY up for the GH.Guess the cooler weather and my threats of ALL the plants coming back in house got my DH up and moving,now hes saying "We gotta get it done NOW!" DUH! ,I've been saying that for months.

What I need to know is where do I get something to automatically vent the heat?
I saw a a tape that Poppysue had of "Gardening Naturally"In it they had all kinds of homemade Gh constructions.But the thing that caught my eye was the vent on one of them.It was an "ARM" that opened the triangle top of the side,triggered by a themostat.Does anyone one know where I can get something like that?

Or are there less expensive ,easier ways?

I work all kinds of different hours so I will not be at home to open or shut the vents so it has to be automatic,and inexpensive......

HELP!!!

Hi CC,
Congrats on the greenhouse,
you'll have so much fun with it.
I haven't checked the Garden Watchdog for this,
but you might want to try there for greenhouse supplies.
I know that Charlie's greenhouse
has all sorts of supplies like that.
We were lucky and got our automatic venting/exhaust
system from a friend who was taking down an old greenhouse.
You'll need it, for sure! :-)

Altho no pic there I see a drawing in their catalog. Depending on the size of your greenhouse it recommends how many of these window/vens you'll need.

CC,
Those Automatic Vent Opener work great....I have two of them that open a window on each end of my greenhouse....I think we got the ones for about $45.00 each.

If you havent purchased the vent control as yet, I have some samples that were sent to me from China. You are welcome to one of them. Let me know.
