I have cool glass painted on my green house and the door and roof vent open most of the time.  Its not that we get a lot of sun but the humidity builds up quick in my small 6x6.

Some of my pepper plant fruit have gone a bit moldy due to lack of ventilation.  Seems that could have been the problem with the strawberries outside.

I got some fleece from bargains galore earlier this year, and OH has clipped it to the inside of the aluminium greenhouse frame to act as shading.  It works a treat (when needed ;D)

Well lorna, looking at the BBC forecast for the next five days, fingers and everything else crossed ;D we just might need the shading.

For bargains galore in my previous post, read home bargains ::)
