"My original greenhouse auto vent had long since broken and laziness had prevailed!
Taking our summer holiday during a very rare sunny and hot spell and asking neighbours to water our tomato plants meant the greenhouse was either roasting hot unvented, or very cold with the door left open to avoid this! On returning from holidays decided to address the problem and lookedin the Argos catalogue without expecting much luck. Wrong! Item found, reserved over the net and collected all within an hour or so!
Like most blokes, got straight in to installation without (at first) much reference to the instructions! Ultimately read them and behold, much easier BUT although the unit now orking well I could noy have installed it with the minimal tool requirement the manufacturers suggest, that is one cross head screwdriver! You will need a small adjustable spanner for the nuts and I had to use a portable drill to fix it to my aluminium greenhouse. Anyway extremes of temperature are now controlled BUT why can't units be made with manual means of overiding the auto unit eg to close up and retain warmth for overnight when the sun has set, without waiting for natural cool down of the unit? The screw adjustment won't do this."

difficult installation

"This item should be clearly marked to ensure buyers realise that it is NOT a universal fit. If your greenhouse is not one of the three types fittings are supplied for, installation will be a matter of luck and perseverence. Once fitted (eventually, requiring drilling of greenhouse frame and reshaping of supplied fittings) works OK"
