Auto greenhouse vent

Hi all,

as I am new to this whole gardening thing I was wondering if there was a recomended auto opener or are they all much of a muchness?

I have seen some on ebay for about £20, is this a good price?

Many thanks in advance.

hi, I bought three from B&Q which seems to be the cheapest at £21.something and will apparently fit most aluminium and wood greenhouses and are suitable for normal sized vents. They're supposed to be "easy to fit" and they are not!!!! However now they're in and seem to be working well. What I don't know is whether you can get spare cylinders from B&Q -- I gather that sometimes the cylinders need replacing.

You can get heavier-duty autovents from Bayliss which are useful if you have very heavy vents e.g. large side vents.

Hope this helps!
