need you all to put on those technical, engineering hats of yours and tell me what you think.

Now, bear in mind, that I am likely NOT going to do this, as my GH has finally been constructed and it might not be worth the effort for me at this point, but it just MIGHT appeal to someone else who is just getting their HFGH put together?

OK, here goes.......

We all know how hard it is to open and keep closed the roof vents right? (I also realize that an automatic opener is an option, which I may consider at some point)

Sooooooo.....what about having 2 roof vents, one on each side on the ROOF....and the other 2 one on each of the sides functioning more like windows?

I have not measured the side panels and compared them to the roof panel/window combo, but it seems visually that they are the same dimensions

I realize that the window itself is fed onto the track of the highest roof piece...the crown....and the sides do not have such a track...

But I have also seen people frame out their side panels for exhaust fans etc...so why couldn't a window be framed out the same way or in a way to allow it to function AS A WINDOW vent on the side of the GH...instead of the roof?

So again, 2 ROOF vents on opposite sides of the roof, and 2 window vents one on each side of the GH?

is it possible? If anyone has any genius way of making this work, I'd love to hear how...because I just cannot see toting a big ole ladder in and out everytime I want to open the roof vents...just too much hassle.

And I have seen that if just the door is opened with any degree of wind...that the whole thing shimmies and does a dance...it's kinda scary...with cross ventilation It just might help with this?

PRO's ?

CON's ?
