This is the custom one we did in the fall. The top half of the side walls drop open completely every 8 feet, for the entire length of both sides. With the sides up and sealed, it will hit 115 on an 85 degree day. With the windows down, the inside temp is equal to the outside.

It takes about 3 minutes to open or close all windows. For our cool nights this winter, we used 4, twenty lb propane tanks, with portable heaters attached to them. On medium, the tanks would keep the house at 59 degrees on a 30 degree night, and were good for about 20 hours.
