Fantastic video, thanks for sharing! We just started building our hoop house from wood we milled on our sawmill and I will definitely look into this style of vent.
Great idea! I just finished building a pallet greenhouse/high tunnel and was thinking about ventilation for it beyond the small window and screen door I have now. Even with just those, it's still gets very warm and humid in there. Being able to draw air through the greenhouse would be helpful and this setup could be the way to go. It's also helpful that I had just purchased the Govee wireless thermometer too! Cheers!
Thanks so much for stopping by! The govee thermostat is excellent! One thing I would have done differently, I would have gone with the next size up vent fan to circulate even more air.
Do you use solar power for the greenhouse? We are setting up our greenhouses soon so we really appreciate your money saving tips. The ones we saw online were close to $700 per vent for everything. The reason I'm asking is because I won't have electricity near my greenhouse and it's too far for extension cords. Do you have a suggestion that may help me? We could possibly put up solar to supply the greenhouses or have an electrician run a line to them. If there is ever a grid down situation, the electric line would be useless. We live in SE Texas which is very sunny with mild winters, if that helps you any. 👵🏼 Thank you.Btw, you have a new subscriber. Your playlist has much of the information we need as new Homesteaders.
I am not using solar at the moment - I currently have 6 180w panels and a AC200 battery pack as a back up generator for my home, I am thinking of using it to power the green house however, the battery pack would be in my garage or basement - I'm worried it would be to cold in the greenhouse for batteries. However, this may be an option for you as your in Texas and won't be as cold up here in NH.
Ah yes, I forget to include some in the description. Amazon only seems to have large packs of the bootstrap farmer wiggle wire channels now - however those are the ones I ordered.

@@rubiccube8953 Thanks for the reply. Do you know where to point me regarding info on the tube length and width? I see what you're doing, but am curious how real world examples on how to do it most effectively.

Very neat. Thank you for the inspiration. I need to think about something like this for my greenhouse. Cheers!
Hi Sarah! So glad you enjoyed! - Tim

How have you liked the Govee thermometer?
Good! Worked great!
Any links to what you purchased?

A tall black tube would produce a chimney effect that would respond to hot weather. A butterfly valve could be used to regulate.
Can you elaborate on this?

@@SethMarshallNYC look up solar chimney. I would just use 4 inch rainwater pipe. The longer the tube the greater the up drought.
