Definitely YES - Buy plenty of white coating for windows, or hang up old net curtains - open all windows and switch on blower or you will lose plants.

 Kitty...there is no such thing as a silly question  It's only easy when you know the answer, we are having this problem at the moment with the girl's, whilst they are playing out suffice to say we couldn't leave the door open  So we have to make do with opening the window, this greenhouse has roof protection but it has still got too hot. We won't have to worry about it for much longer, the weather is turning nasty soon  Louisa |

Just keep opening the door and the windows and you should be fine ?? What are you growing ?? Glasshouse is dependent on you watering it ?? this is just as important than the temp
 Great extention to the garden xxxxxx Alan  |

Bedding will scorch with high temps, you need to get some shade in ?? Try whitening the glass or fix fleece on the inside with those clever little snap on things. If you use the fleece method you can leave the windows open permanently ?
