I would look into a thermo stat that will kick the fan on at 80 deg..
To draw inside air out side from inside as well as a fan inside to move air around in house
If you see leaves moving in the breeze that's a good sign..
Maybe one of those box fans would do the trick..2 feet by 2 feet.

try settin that up so it sucks air from out side and provide a vent for air to flow out. that fan will be strong enough to do the job.
is that cyclone wire fencing???
hope it does not rip holes or wear out cover..
Also consider this as a temp set up once summer comes let the sunshine do its thing without a cover. but keep frame up for late season frost or if it hails run and cover...

u really think so? There is 9 in there. I wish now I would have only put 6
I can verify chickenman's claims. I grew up with two foot wide cages for tomatoes, now I see 8 foot cages 6 feet in diameter. Trees! Airflow airflow airflow.

I have to keep in covered in order to be in accordance with the law. The fan pulls from outside yes, I still have to look into exhaust/and how, idk what cyclone fencing is w/looking. I have chain link drapped over hoophouse an anchored 1 foot into ground attachedto 2x10's

Something like this. I can't find it but I know there is a model that has high and low limits, so it turns on and off at the temps you desire. Here you would set the temp so the fan turns on at whatever temp is needed, and turns off when the temp goes below the setting on the unit. You might have to look around but this is the type of item you need.

I think.
