Re: New Green house getting hot

You might want to consider leaving the window open at night, until you can
mount that shade cloth...  At any rate, I'm sure you'd rather simply add
ceiling ventilation...check your local hardware store (even Home Depot may
have this) for an automatic window opener...they're made for greenhouses and
are worth the expense, from what I've seen!
