Below you will find photos and an explanation of each greenhouse accessory we offer in addition to the standard features of the Growing Dome greenhouse kit.

Automatic Greenhouse Vent Openers

The automatic vent openers are heat activated and require no electricity to operate. The upper and lower vents open and close at an adjustable preset temperature due to the melting and expansion of beeswax in a piston. Cooling of the Growing Dome is then acheived as hot air escapes from the top vents and cold air is drawn in through the lower vents ... VIEW MORE DETAILS

Solar Powered (12v) Greenhouse Cooling Fans

If you live in a very hot area of the country, you may find that the normal combination of cooling features may not be sufficient to cool your dome in the summer.

If you live in a humid climate, this option may not be sufficient and you may want to consider a swamp cooler and/or air conditioner ... VIEW MORE DETAILS

24 inch Foundation Wall

Heating Options

We often have people ask about heating options. We do not sell heaters, but recommend a Southern Burner Heater which is specifically designed for greenhouse use. Another option is a Mr. Heater top attached to a propane tank which you would set next to the water tank. This heats the water and allows it to radiate the heat throughout the dome ...
