I have a hoop house in Denver, CO. With our intense sun, it very quickly overheats, since there is no ventilation mechanism yet. I have bought an automatic vent opener, and will be installing a vent right at the top of the
greenhouse.
However, it would work better if I had a lower opening which could let in cooler air. I was wondering if I attached some sort of opening with flaps over it: would the negative pressure of the rising warm air in the
greenhouse leaving the vent pull the flaps open and cool air in?
I would, of
course, have to protect the flaps from the wind. I was thinking a pipe with a couple of bends in it would do the trick.
