This desert cooling greenhouse package package for our Growing Dome kits adds a Greenhouse Cooling Fan for extra ventilation and one or two misting systems for cooling.
You may choose between the Electric Cooling Fan or the Solar Cooling Fan, but the solar cooling fan comes standard on the 26′ dome unless otherwise specified. The Electric cooling fan comes standard on the 33′ or 42′ Growing Domes unless otherwise specified. However, if you purchase the Solar Powered Cooling Upgrade with your 33′ or 42′ dome and the Desert Cooling Package, the Desert Cooling Package will come standard with one Solar Cooling Fan unless otherwise specified.
The evaporative cooling effects of the Misting System helps keep your dome cool during the hot summer months. The low pressure Misting System easily connects to your garden hose. The misting system comes with 11 nozzles for the 15′ – 26′ Growing Domes. The 33′ Growing Dome comes with a 20 nozzle misting system, and the 42′ Growing Dome comes with both an 11 nozzle and a 20 nozzle misting system.
Consider adding the Desert Package if you live in a very hot and dry area of the country, as you may find that the standard combination of cooling features may not be sufficient to cool your Growing Dome in the summer.
Greenhouse Desert Cooling Package
If you can answer “Yes” to any of these questions, then we highly recommend the Desert Cooling Package for your Growing Dome greenhouse kit.
- Do you live in a desert or semi-desert climate (i.e. hot climate with low humidity)?
- Do temperatures get above 95° F on a regular basis?
If you live in an extremely hot environment, you may need more than the Desert Cooling Package to sufficiently cool your Growing Dome. Solar swamp coolers manufactured by Southwest Solar are also a great option for hot, dry climates. If you live in a humid climate, you may need to reach out to a local heating/air conditioning (HVAC) supplier and/or electrician to assist you with purchasing and installing an air conditioner and/or a dehumidifier.
Evaporative Coolers can be easily added to the Growing Dome for additional cooling if required. Ask us about what types of coolers are compatible with the Growing Dome.
