Here's a Photoshop rendering my husband did, with South annotated. To be precise, the gated fenceline is about 160 degrees, you can see the deep evening shadows of this August photo.

At present, it looks like the best choice might be to mount a 24" shuttered fan above a Larson full-length door with slide-down screen. That'll give me a 140% air exchange per minute. While that falls a little short of formulae given for the greenhouse volume, it probably is OK to fudge a bit for 10% of my wall sfc being convertible to screen...

As for the planform, it's a simple 10'X15' rectangle.
