Bootstrap Farmer Automated Roll-Up Sides Motor

Greenhouse Sidewall Automation

Automating your greenhouse roll-up sides saves time and effort, making daily ventilation adjustments simple and hassle-free. Adding a thermostat ensures consistent airflow and optimal temperature management, even when you’re not there. This system integrates seamlessly with Bootstrap Farmer's roll-up sidewall ventilation, included in their all-metal greenhouse kits and available for DIY greenhouse kits.

Choose the setup that fits your needs: manual control for hands-on operation with the push of a button or thermostat control for automated, temperature-responsive adjustments that keep your greenhouse environment consistent. Select the 60Nm motor for roll-up sides up to 100', or the 100Nm motor for sides over 100'. These options ensure efficient and effective ventilation tailored to your greenhouse setup.

This system requires 110V electricity for operation.
