Hello, all!
I am currently trying to fix up a greenhouse that is in terrible shape and I need a few ideas regarding the cooling of the greenhouse. There is a long panel at the top of the greenhouse that used to be opened with some type of motor, but I think the motor got water damaged and does not work. Supposedly, they have tried to replace the motor multiple times and it keeps dying. I need an idea where the top panel can be opened and closed on a thermostat type deal, since no one will be available in the summer to open and close it. There are other methods of ventilation, such as a fan or the side panels, however, there is worry that potential pests can get into the greenhouse. The side panel can be seen in the right of the picture and the fan is covered by the silver box in the back. If anyone can come up with an idea for the top panel to open or a way to keep pests out, I would greatly appreciate it!!
