Mark, are you able to achieve summer cooling/venting just using a fan on one end and louvered vents on the other?
I assume none of your structures have roll up sides.
I am looking to do production beginning in March next year. This will require heat, at night for sure, but I am wondering about the days that might be full sun and 60+
Right now my gable vents would open 1st. There’s a 4’ square vent at both gable ends, no fan. Next the sides would automatically roll up to cool if the automated end vents are not enough.
I’d like to fasten the sides down tight to the baseboards and especially the vertical parts of the ends so wind can’t get in when they are closed for heating.
I’m just wondering what I will need to do on warm sunny days if I don’t use the roll up sides early on. Just add a fan to one end to pull air through?
