Hi Cathy,

If I were you, I would get the automatic window vent openers for your vents. I have two. One for each set of vents in the roof. You do not need electricity. The heat melts the wax which expands and opens the vents. Before I got them, I killed some plants. You will go crazy trying to remember when to open and close the greenhouse. Even if you don't open the door, the heat will rise out the top of the greenhouse. I am from New England and it is pretty hot even during the summer. My greenhouse is attached to my house (not lean to). I heat it with the wood stove in our family room which is the room the greenhouse is attached to. The trees semi-shade my greenhouse in the summer which is great. Hope any of this helps.

Bonnie
