To have optimal use of your greenhouse it is wise to block the sunlight from the roof. This can be done by painting the glass of the roof white, but in the fall you need extra sunlight and removing paint will be a big task. I have tried several thing like using a bed sheet, but due to the moister in the greenhouse, this sheet can not be used very long. So my next trail is to use styrofoam sheets of 1 cm think. (very inexpensive material). To hold it in place I created braces to hold them in place. I used hammerhead screws to lock them to the greenhouse.
I would love to see your prints of this design.

Made some updates to the brace. Noticed that after 1 year the thin part bends from the heath in the greenhouse. So made this thicker. Also made halve a brace for next to the opening window. A tip for who prints it, print it in white. This will give the braces a longer live span. And print them side ways to prevent overhang
