Default Auto vents

Is it worth investing in an auto vent for the greenhouse? With both myself and the wife working opening and closing may become some what sporadic so I was thinking of buying one. If so, what makes are worth looking out for and are there any to avoid? Local garden centre had a Parasene Jempvent and a Gardman one. Worth it?

I think it will depend on the glass size and obviously how much you want to pay, but personally I think it's worth the investment if your not around to keep opening and closing.

It's an 8x6 GH with polycarbonate glazing, so the window is very very light.

I have had a automatic roof vent for years and it has been great. I just leave it to get on with venting the green house and only open the door to help out in the hottest of weather. c
Cant tell you the best on the market these days but am sure the garden centres cuold advise you.

You can buy an autovent from Homebase for about £15. Best investment I ever made.
