RE: Adding ventilation to the greenhouse

in STEMGeekslast year

Looks like you are getting things taken care of! Why can't you use wood? Are you just concerned it would rot or are there other factors involved? I would love to learn to weld too. Shop was the one class in high school I wish I had taken that I didn't.

Hah yeah man, if I used wood I would need to paint it so it does not rot. The humidity in there is going to be very high, and if I painted it I would be worried about what the paint off gases when the green house gets very hot inside.

Once I get more power out in the workshop I plan on getting a basic welding rig and playing around. Should be interesting.

Oh, okay. I was thinking you could use something like cedar that wouldn't need to be be painted, but the metal is probably a lot more solid anyway.
