I would cover the vent with a fine mesh screen. I think my fungus gnats come it through very small openings.
I love watching your progress.

Here is the "screen" that is on it now. This vent was one of two that came from a local High School when they did some remolding to there greenhouses.

Ahhhhh recycling.
LOL.
Yup. The vent, fan and some of the windows are off of a greenhouse that my dad and I had.

Make sure you put chicken wire around the wooden base. I had woodchucks go under my greenhouse base and eat my very early broccoli at the peek of perfection.
I'm going to put tin around the bottom and then on the East and South side will be raised beds.

I want to thank all of you for the kind word.
Everything seems to be falling into place and I hope to have the greenhouse done and plants in it by late spring. (early may).

Like the progress pics. Those reused vents and windows will save alot of money along with keeping it out of a land fill. I like to reuse all kinds materials also, I try to use some in every project I do. Looks like you will be done in no time at all.

I figure that I will be saving close to 900.00 to 1000.00 just on the vent and fan.
