Fan, Shutter, Thermostat Combination
Your greenhouse will gain 75 degrees in temperature on a sunny day, so even in winter you're likely to need to get rid of some extra heat.
These fans are far superior to passive roof venting offered by competitors, because these actively move air out of the greenhouse to allow for much better heat exchange.
All the fans are powered by 110v, and only require an extension cord to plug in, nothing special. The plug in is near the back of the greenhouse on the inside. The waterproof thermostat will turn the fans on whenever the temperature gets above a certain point - I set mine to 85 degrees - so your plants won't melt.
All our greenhouses come with at least one fan included in the price.
Misting System
Never worry about your plants when you're away for the weekend again! This system automatically waters, on an adjustable schedule, everything in the greenhouse even when you're not home!
The misting system just requires a dedicated water hose hookup, and is powered by two AA batteries (included). All our polycarbonate greenhouses come with misters included in the price.
Benches
These handy benches are built to the wall of the greenhouse and require zero floorspace!
They are quite sturdy, measuring 17" deep and are about 36" off the ground (kitchen cabinet height). They can really help to make your greenhouse feel bigger, by giving your more places to store plants - or just to have a nice place to sit on a stool and work with your plants!
Benches are $160 per side for a 12' long greenhouse, $240 per side for a 16' long greenhouse, and $320 per side for a 24' long greenhouse.
Hanging Basket Pipes
These are strong metal tubings that run the length of the greenhouse, typically 18" in from each side for the first set, 36" in for the second set.
Heaters, Shadecloth, etc...
We don't sell heaters, shadecloth, etc, ourselves, but below are links to some we would recommend on Amazon
Heat Storm HS-1500-PHX-WIFI Infrared Heater.
We also recommend a separate wireless thermometer, such as this one SensorPush HT.w Wireless Thermometer,
If you use your own electric heater, you might consider plugging it into an automatic thermostat which will turn it on if the temperature drops below 40 degrees; a very simple and inexpensive one is here Farm Innovators TC-3 Cold Weather Thermo Cube
You will also probably want to use shadecloth, which can make a significant difference in how much heat enters your greenhouse, and will therefore encourage lower temperatures on sunny days. This can help extend your season by a month or two, spring and fall. There are a wide variety on the market, generally you want a minimum of 30% shade, max of 70%; more shade means less light which means less heat, but also less light for your plants to grow in. 50% is generally a good balance.
Two options are linked here, the traditional black which blocks light (Royal Shade 50% Black Shade Cloth 16FT x 16FT Mesh Tarp with Grommets)
