Greenhouse Cooling, Ventilating & Shading

The improved Poly-Vent natural ventilation system from Poly-Tex is an alternative to rack-and-pinion vents and rollup curtain systems. The new frame has improved water drainage and is designed to be mounted to most greenhouse sidewalls without modification. Poly-Vent operates using only small blowers that can be thermostatically controlled. Single-stage allows growers to fully open or close off their ventilation while two-stage gives them the ability to select different temperatures at which the top and bottom will open or close.
