I ordered a 6×8 wooden green house. Never owned one before and just starting to do a ton of research but thought I ask on here how are you keeping the temp down in the 110°+ summer months?
You’ll need shade cloth and fans to keep your plants alive in the summer.

Why do you even need a green house in 10a? Can’t you grow whatever you want outside?

Better put an air conditioner in it.

I have a greenhouse that looks just like this, in zone 8a. Our plans to modify it for the heat this spring: install an exhaust fan on the wall opposite the door. In the two panels on either side of the door, install vents for air intake or maybe an inward blowing fan). Shade cloth. We haven’t been through the summer with this greenhouse yet, but those are our starting points.
