Fans?

Been checking out Fans for my Greenhouse.

My understanding is you don't want Fan blowing right on plants so I was looking at oscillating.

My wife suggested Ceiling Fans.

Will these work and open for suggestions? Remember there is moisture.

They make vertical air flow ceiling fans the work well in some greenhouses. Search for V flow fans.

what about cooling fans? Does your greenhouse get super hot? Cause I know mine without cooling fans and a wet wall sticks around 125f

I'm needing to put Shade Cloth up and it has one exhaust fan now.

So far been keeping during hot of the day around 102F.

That’s nice ! With limited height ceiling fans night be difficult I would just find a couple wall mounts and have it aimed above the canopy.

Will they work as long as I watch my water?

My understanding is need one Fan on one side and another blowing the other way to distribute heat and to cool down.

whats the other gable end of the greenhouse look like?
I would recommend installing one of these on the gable opposite the door, up as high as you can get it https://acinfinity.com/hvac-home-ventilation/shutter-exhaust-fans/airlift-t16-shutter-exhaust-ventilation-fan-16-temperature-and-humidity-controller/

it may look confusing, but it can be programmed to have high and low temperature and humidity setpoints. The amount of electricity it would save is great, and it will allow you more control over the environment. You will have to manually open the windows every day and shut them at night but that is easy.

that would cover just the air flow thru the greenhouse. As for circulation fans, to save some money I'd just get some pedestal fans if you have the room, or you can get wall mounted fans to save a little room. I bought the air king brand a long time ago and it was a great oscillating wall mounted fan

fantastic greenhouse by the way. I would love to have one so much!
