Hi, Stan.  Without venting, you will probably have problems with mold and
fungus gnats.  But you can vent by just cutting a slit or hole towards the
top.  If you read the books, they will describe a complicated system for
figuring how much to vent; on my small cold frame, I just leave it open a
small amount during daylight hours until the temps. are warm; then I take
it off completely.  I've never had any problems.
