Side Insect Netting
This just shows the side walls that are insect netting and the top that is 6mil. Greenhouse grade plastic. The insect netting is Protek net 70g which is very strong and resilient to tearing. The reason for this addition is to help maximize air circulation while minimizing the chance of insects coming in contact with the plant.
The structure is on a bit of a slanted growing area, but the exposed area of aeration is about 8 to 10 feet and is on both sides of the structure. This really allows for good cross winds and have helped keep the humidity levels much closer to ambient conditions. Fans are still running inside and the large exhaust fan is still on a thermostat so during times of hot weather there is additional air movement. Not sure how much of a true benefit this provides, but it does help ensure there is not a buildup of a pocket of hot air in the structure.
