- The greenhouse is getting too hot! Today I’m fitting some Bayliss XL auto vents and overcoming some problems while fitting them. Also a very quick greenhouse seed update!
Here's some of the products I'm using:

Amazing Video, we are delighted you are happy with our Autovents!
Cheers - still going strong! 👍💪
Great video and about to fit this brand of wax strut opener and don't feel so daunted now!
Hi Andy, I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos, it reminds me of my early growing days. Although I’m a specialist grower I enjoy watching others getting on with things. The one thing I learnt quite early on is that you can never have enough vents and I think going forward you will want to slot some more in. I’ve got seven in my 18ft version of the same greenhouse and even that is found wanting sometimes. I also have the side vent as well.
One thing you will almost certainly need to do is get some shading up, either painted on or hanging otherwise your plants will fry in the summer.
Very best of luck going forward. Mr P.
Thank you very much. Watched a few other vids and wanted a clear picture of the wax arm when open. As I didn’t want to be hitting my head! Your vid did this and more. 👏👌
'I am literally on fire' - says Andy with a big woollen hat on!😂 Thanks for the video, and the chuckle.
Magic wax working perfectly. Thanks for inviting me round to share 🌞
I have tried many auto vents, Bayliss would be by far the best if they didn't open at such a low temperature.
Great job, auto vents are a must for a greenhouse, leave the door open on a hot day and you can just leave it be :)
I've been running Edinburgh Festoon Solar lights from Solar Centre for a few years now and they are excellent, work all year round. Also the Lunify range from the same site are amazing too. I'm also in the North East and these work even in the depths of winter although they only last a few hours after dark. In the summer I get all night out of them.
Fitted some to our conservatory years ago, worked a treat, moved since then!
Great video. My auto openers have given up so I'll try to re-adjust before buying new ones. BTW love the woodpecker at 3:30 🙂
Good idea if it ever stops raining the sun might come out instead then its definitely gonna get warmer I'm in envy of your blue sky not seen that for weeks 😂
Hi Andy, keep your manual window stays as it’s best to remove the automatic ones in winter and they will last longer. Many thanks for your videos very informative.
An excellent how to video. You might find that, in time, the lower brackets loosen and come off (I speak from experience!) I solved the problem on mine by using self tapping screws into the frame - you may find that this does not work on yours because of the thin aluminium. It’s a bit late now but you may have been better to offset the two windows so they were diagonally opposite each other - this makes for better airflow throughout the greenhouse. Happy growing!
Wow technology is an interesting thing :) as I don't have the same I don't have this option but nice to know if I did this is available. I hope Bayliss is watching.
Hi Andy, good job on fitting the automatic window openers, the wax in side those tubes are doing the job well, very similar to the thermostat that sits in the housing on your car radiator the wax expands with heat to open the spring in the tube to open the window. It's a shame that the frame is thin metal and see what you mean with the fixing screws against the glass As always a great video Take care
I find the cardboard pots and toilet rolls keep the compost very cold and manage to kill more seeds than manage to germinate.
It looks like the opener would be better mounting onto the perpendicular part of the aluminium profile. Even with the spacer bar on the part of the profile the opener is attached to, you still have similar force acting on the internal corner which gives the deflection. My suggestion would be to epoxy in a piece of scrap plywood that bonds to both parts of the aluminium profile - that would provide the easy win in terms of avoiding flexing. The longer the length of the ply the better for reducing unwanted movement.
Maybe bit angle plate to spread load at 90 degrees with other part of frame, dig out the meccano.
Hi Andy, what is this exact greenhouse called? As I am currently looking to buy one and this is the best looking one ive seen so far? Many thanks
I have heard of these. Do they sell these in the US? I know I'm going to need some for my greenhouse which is still waiting to be put up. Thanks!
It's as if you have a little Green house ghost that opens your windows ... 👻
