Step-by-Step Guide:

2. Choose fan CFM:
3. Add accessories:

Critical Note: Always exceed your calculated CFM by 20% for hot Aussie summers.

Smart Integration Ideas:

• Winter: Move plants from outdoor greenhouse to indoor grow tent
• Propagation: Start seeds under LED panels → transfer to polycarbonate greenhouse
• Climate Buffer: Use greenhouse as "pre-conditioning" space before bringing plants indoors

Product Pairing:

• Small greenhouse kits + 2×2ft grow tent = year-round harvests
• Ventilation fans that work in both setups (e.g., AC Infinity Cloudline series)

Whether you're looking at a small greenhouse for your balcony or a large walk in greenhouse for your backyard, these structures transform how you grow food. Greenhouses allow you to:

✔ Extend growing seasons by months
✔ Protect plants from harsh weather and pests
