Will do thanks for the advice do you think a dehum will be necessary too in the fall if we have good ventilation?

lol, have fun with a dehumidifier outside in a greenhouse in a coastal climate.
my buddy tried one and gave up after a day or two.

You don't think one would work? If it is large enough and draining outside the gh wouldn't it help lower the humidity? Ive seen the bigger ones at the hydro shops. I am just thinking the humidity has to be what makes the mold? Maybe ventilation keeps it from setting too? What kind of dehum did your friend have? Was it a pvc rebar hoop house? Did he grow near the coast in a gh? I am curious to others expierence

he had a bigass dehumidifier and high hopes, which were dashed in the driest growing season we had in several years.
keep the air moving is all you can do. you can't suck all that moisture out unless your greenhouse is built super tight.

Did he lose a lot to mold? Was he close to the pacific coast?

halfway between portland and the coast in the hills.
he didn't lose anything to mold that year, none of us did. it was a great year for outdoor.
but the dehumidifier didn't do a thing outside, and his greenhouse was professionally built.

Be careful with that greenhouse, I had the exact one. The first heavy winds that came it crumbled it easily

What one r u talking about? We built that big one and it is solid the smaller one is staked down. Not worried about "crumbling". We don't have high winds here during season and both were setup/built to last this ain't my first rodeo

don't be afraid to reinforce it though. without solid support that type of greenhouse is very susceptible to a day or two of high winds.
