Strong summer sunshine makes temperatures inside the greenhouse soar. Shading not only protects plants from excessive heat but also from the sun?s scorching rays. Use an adequate number of vents ? preferable automated to open when you?re out during the day ? to help avoid the build up of excessive temperatures.

By combining effective Shading and Ventilation you will help to provide an suitable environment for your plants during the hotter, summer months.

Our weather in the UK is unpredictable - will April be hot or wet? Or both! So plan ahead and be prepared. Prevent scorching with shade and damping off or fungus with adequate ventilation.
