Fan for Rion 8x16

Mountain Home, AR

I am such a GH novice, so it is great to read all your ? and answers, it helps so much. About putting in a fan, where would you install it and when you say shutters do you mean louvered vents and do they go on the opposite wall of the fan? Also, is it important to place the greenhouse in a spot where it gets morning sun as well as mid-day , or as long as you get sun most of the day is that ideal? Thanks for the help. Nanadee

Yes, on the fan/shutter question. On my GH (also a Rion), I put the exhaust fan on the wall opposite the door, and the louvers are on the first side panel along the right side of the GH.

Morning/mid day sun is definately the best, IMO. Afternoon sun can get too hot. Unfortunately, mine gets full sun from about 10am in the Summer, until it hits the horizon. No morning sun at all. =( I haven't used it much during the Summer, save for keeping extra succulents. This year, I'd like to put in an evaporative cooler, hopefully to cool it enough to start fall annuals from seed. =)
