Side Vents

Does anyone know if a Gardman side vent will fit in an Elite greenhouse, I cant get in to the box at the garden centre to measure it up.

 

Doesn`t it say on the box? Aluminium greenhouses normally use standard size glass in the walls, either 24" x 24" or 24" x 18" ( 610 x 610 or 610 x 450 ) so the vents are made to take these. :gnthb: If you are talking louvre vent, they tend to be 24" x 18".

 

cant see any info on the box, may take a flyer and purchase as i to think they will be standard. I would buy the proper elite ones but nobody seems to discount them all i have seen are full price.

 

Yes I do meAn louvre vents, will save up to automise them as absent during day.

 

What size glass is in the wall?

 

Sorry for delay, hurt my back have been in bed for two days. Glass measures 24in by 47in in both sides and centre end.

 

It`s sounds like you will have to cut it anyway. Is it in 1 pane or 2? Because that sounds like a strange size.:thumb:

 

Just the one pane of safety glass, probably Elite standard size. I know I will have to cut it I am more concerned it wi fit in the gap left when the glass goes and will attache to the Elite profile sides without having to cut into the vertical struts.

 

Pete, if it`s toughened glass you wont cut it. You will have to have a rethink.

 

Twin wall polycarbonate, would be a good alternative.:gnthb:

 

I think I would tend to buy two pieces of toughened glass to go above and below or get the existing panel cut professionally, if I can get it to work I will do panels on one side and one end. At present I have had to leave the door open and the roof vents open when I leave for work in the morning, but my lovely wife has just bought me two Bayliss mk 7's for my birthday to automate my roof vents so wil be able too leave them to thier own devices when correctly adjusted. I must thank you for your help I do try hard to think things through but a second opinion is always helpful.

 

Pete, I think you will find toughened glass cannot be cut.:thumb:

 

Thanks for the info may have to go for the polycarbon.
