“Issues to me after installing were. 1) vents didn’t open quick enough and shelter was already hot when they did. 2) Not enough air passes though the small openings of the round part that opens. What I did to allow more air flow was to gut out the round temperature controlled disc and re installed the louvered cover with the protective screen. See photos 3,4 and 5.”

“I bought these for my (2) 13'x20'x10' shelters because it was getting extremely hot in them. I am a little concerned about the function of it. On mine, the part that "opens" seems to rub the mating surface. So far it is still hot in there (98 degrees) and they are not opening. I love the shelters, not too happy with the vents.”

“I took out the auto vent by removing the screw for the fins and then using a roto drill to cut inside the ring to make a larger opening. I want the vent open all the time to get constant airflow and help keep the moisture out which is a problem in the spring/fall larger temperature swings. The directions show one person can install the vent. You definitely need two people and it wasn't that easy to push the plastic rivets thru as they liked to bend. The screen should be slightly larger as it didn't easily come out to the rivet holes to stay in place. All in all the vent seems to work fine and stay in place fine with the plastic rivets so far(about 1 week with some wind). The price seemed a little high for what you get.”
“This seems to be doing a good job at passively lowering the temperatures in our 14x32 structure. Even on mild days, our previous tent would get incredibly hot inside with the end flaps closed. I think that may have been partially responsible for the early deterioration and failure of our previous structure. Only time will tell, but so far we are pleased with this vent system. No power or attention on our part required.”
“Bought vent kit a month ago. Delivery time was good. All 32 fasteners and 2 screens were missing!! Replacement parts are being sent.( Or, at least I think so !)”
“THE INSTALLATION WORKS BEST WITH TWO PEOPLE. INSTALLATION MAY WORK WITH ONE PERSON WITH THE END WALLS LOOSE ON THE GROUND, SO YOU CAN ROLL IT UP AND REACH BOTH SIDES. THE INSTRUCTIONS FORGOT TO MENTION INSTALLING THE SCREW AND WASHER THAT HOLDS THE MOVING VENT TO IT'S PIVOT SHAFT. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THAT AFTER THE FIRST ONE AND INSTALL IT LATER OK.
NOW IT IS EQUAL TEMPERATURE INSIDE AND OUT OF SHED. IT USED TO BE LIKE AN OVEN INSIDE ,EVEN WITH THE DOOR OPEN. QUIETLY WORKS NICELY! THANK YOU”
