This AV01 residential roof vent opener is a simple, non-electric solution for maintaining optimal airflow in backyard greenhouses. It uses a temperature-sensitive wax mechanism to open and close vents automatically, without any wiring or power source.
Designed to activate between 17°C and 24°C (adjustable), the mechanism expands to lift the vent when temperatures rise and retracts as it cools. The AV01 model can lift up to 14kg, making it ideal for standard greenhouse roof vents.
No need to remember to open or close vents. These openers ensure consistent airflow and temperature regulation, helping reduce heat stress on your plants — especially useful in variable Australian climates.
Also available: Options for side louvre vents and large commercial vents.

Council approval requirements vary depending on your location and the size or type of greenhouse you plan to install. Some councils allow smaller greenhouses without approval, while others may require a permit before installation.
It’s best to check with your local council to confirm what’s needed in your area. If approval is required, we can provide detailed foundation and structural plans to support your application.

Delivery depends on whether you or your area have access to unloading equipment.
Option 1: Customer forklift
Delivery goes directly to your property. You’ll unload the boxes from the truck using your own forklift.
Option 2: Neighbour or local business forklift
Delivery can be made to a nearby location with a forklift. They can unload the boxes onto your vehicle. You’ll need a suitable vehicle such as a trailer, ute, or large truck to transport the greenhouse to your property.
Option 3: Freight depot pickup
We can deliver to your nearest freight depot where forklifts are available. You’ll collect the boxes using a suitable vehicle.
⚠️ Note: Ensure your vehicle can handle the total load.
Option 4: HiAB delivery
A truck with a crane delivers directly to your property and safely unloads the boxes on-site.
Most customers find assembling their greenhouse manageable with some time and patience. If DIY isn’t for you, a professional installer can take care of the assembly for you. On average, an 8x8ft greenhouse takes two people about a day to complete.
