Caution: Any screening retrofitted to a greenhouse without other changes will decrease airflow and increase greenhouse temperatures.

The following procedure should help avoid serious ventilation problems. An additional consideration: if you start with pests already inside or bring pests in on plants or clothing, screening will keep them inside.
