I understand what you're trying to do, but you are not adding any content by posting like this. At the very least you can offer *something* to your own thread, no?
That's a little better.
Not so much...
Much better!
It needs as much ventilation as possible. Is the fan pulling air in or taking it out, or is it just moving air around inside? I have a small GH that's got two doorways and four windows, so simply opening it up to the ambient air flow is sufficient.
When you have a clear cover, you have a solar collector or more accurately, a solar oven. The clear top lets the heat in and keeps adding heat unless you have a way to get rid of it as fast as it collects.
A big vent at the top works quite well if you can open the sides up. If you try to get rid of the heat with a fan on one end and a vent on the other, they both have to flow a lot of air to work.
In Southern Arizona, we use a big evaporative cooler on one end and big vents, or an open door on the other side. That works well here because the humidity is low. They don't work at all if the humidity is high.
Good luck.

that 6 mil shit didnt last me 6 months in the desert. i set up a friends gh using it as he was a cheapass. do it right the first time man
my old greenhouses with that material lasted 6 years. could of gone longer with patching i imagine. the woven poly stuff rocks. i also had shade cloths for each gh. along with roll up sides and back.
dont be cheap on the gh covers it aint worth it
