Inside Looking Out
The important note in this image is the curtain of insect netting which is (hard to see but) located between the door opening and the vent. This was always kept covering to door except for entering it was on a hinge and swung away when I entered and then immediately came back in place to act as a physical barrier between the outside and inside. Since the door actually has zippers it “sealed” but the addition of the insect netting helped ensure a barrier to insects as I may be entering and exiting so there was even less chance of an unwanted insect sneaking in;-)
Misting system inside the structure was just the two in the image that have been taken down already. Both of these seems to work out well to maintain the inside temperature close to the outside even during the heat of a sunny day.
Mister Specifics:
The white vertical PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes have Senninger Upright mini-Wobbler® outfitted with the #4 nozzle light blue (1/16”) which has a flow rate of 0.50 gpm (gallons per minute) and an approximate 32ft. diameter of coverage since I am running them at 20psi. These are intended to provide a cooling mist and not irrigate the plant. (Drip tapes are the intended irrigation source.) Adjustments were made over the course of the season, but a run time of 5min. every 15min. form 10am to 5pm was the starting base line.
