An effective
greenhouse cooling system includes shade cloth, an appropriately sized
ventilatino system and sufficient humidity.

12' x 12'
$ 42.00

• Reduces the amount of summer sunlight, aiding
plant growth
• Prevents overheating and plant burn
• Cools up to 15 degrees
• Can be used as a windscreen or to reduce wind
chill and wind flow.
Shade cloth is an inexpensive and useful climate control.
We recommend a multipurpose 60% light blocking knitted weave, which provides
an excellent cooling and UV light transmission balance, is extremely
lightweight, and will not unravel when cut or torn like traditional woven
shade cloths.
Our custom shade cloth kits come complete with attractive knitted green
shade cloth fabric, nylon cord and six plastic Clip-its™, as well
as detailed instructions on how to use and install. The cloth is UV treated
and guaranteed for a minimum of 5 years. SSR12 fits all models up to
Mt. Rainier 8' x 12' and is easily cut to size.
Mist Systems
A mist system can provide short bursts of mist to both cool (up
to 20 degrees) and humidify (50%-70% humidity is an ideal growing condition),
and is a
great supplement to ventilation, which, by itself, merely cools to the
outside temperature. A mist kit can also be used for to automate the watering
process, but requires larger mist nozzles
The GardenHouse Cooling Mist and Timer Package
The GH mist system is a pre-assembled 6 nozzle portable mist kit that provides
12 ft of misting area and installs in just a few minutes along the
inside frame of a Sunshine GardenHouse.
Although the GH mist system can be operated manually, we strongly recommend
a cycle timer. The battery operated-Touch-Set™ Electronic Water Timer
provides brief misting cycles for the duration and intervals you set, perfect
for cooling and humidifying. Simply connects to your hose faucet.

Ventilation - An Essential
Ventilation is probably the most important greenhouse control, essential
in revitalizing, cooling and dehumidifying. An air exchange process:
•replaces warm moist air inside the greenhouse with cooler, often
drier, outside air.
•provides a fresh supply of carbon dioxide to plants for growth
•helps prevent diseases that start in stagnant air.
Start with Natural Airflow
We've included the ventilation you need to get started. Sunshine GardenHouse
greenhouses include two automatic, heat activated vent openers to provide
outstanding natural ventilation. Automatic roof and back wall vent openers
provide the ideal low to high airflow. Automatic operation helps avert
the disaster of burning every plant by forgetting to ventilate on a hot
day, particularly when used with mist systems and/or shade cloth.
Forced Air Ventilation Options
In certain climates or growing environments, you may want to supplement
with a powered circulation fan, or, for maximum air exchange and carbon
dioxide replenishment, an shutter fan kit such as the one left.
Each of these fan choices can be controlled with timers and/or thermostats.
The appropriate forced air fan for you, if any, will depend upon your
local climate, your chosen greenhouse temperature, and your plant selection.
While more circulation is usually better, you can always start small
and add ventilation as needed.

For maximum air exchange and carbon dioxide
replenishment, install a shutter fan. The versatile shutter fan can be
used alone (relying on the intake of the automatic vents) or together
with a shutter or motorized intake to create cross ventilation. A motorized
intake shutter opens more fully and provides an effective seal against
outside air when closed. With each fan or shutter, we include an easy
