"The Rack and Pinion Ridge Vent Bundle is designed for growers, builders, and greenhouse owners who want everything needed for a reliable ridge ventilation setup in one package. Instead of sourcing each part individually, this bundle simplifies the shopping process and helps reduce compatibility guesswork. Pro Tip: This bundle includes a low-voltage motor, but it does not include the controller. If you want automated vent operation, make sure your setup includes a compatible controller."
What Is a Rack and Pinion Ridge Vent?
A rack and pinion ridge vent is a greenhouse roof ventilation system designed to open and close vents along the ridge or peak of a greenhouse. These systems help regulate temperature, humidity, and airflow by allowing excess heat and moisture to naturally escape through the top of the structure.
Because warm air rises, ridge vents are one of the most effective ways to improve passive greenhouse ventilation and support better climate control.
How a Rack and Pinion Ridge Vent System Works
Rack and pinion ridge vent systems use a geared drive mechanism to open and close greenhouse ridge vents along the roof peak of the structure. As warm air rises inside the greenhouse, the ridge vent allows excess heat and humidity to escape, improving airflow and environmental control.
The included low-voltage motor helps operate the vent system and can be paired with a compatible greenhouse controller for automated climate management.
System Compatibility & Applications
This rack and pinion ridge vent bundle is designed for greenhouse and high tunnel ventilation projects where airflow, heat release, and climate control are important. It can be used for both new construction and retrofit applications.
- Commercial Greenhouses: Supports reliable ridge ventilation for professional growing environments where consistent airflow and heat management are important.
- Hobby & DIY Greenhouses: Gives greenhouse owners a complete ridge vent package without needing to source each component separately.
- High Tunnels & Retrofit Projects: Can be used to add or upgrade ridge ventilation on many existing greenhouse or high tunnel structures.
Performance Features
- Complete Ridge Vent Package: Includes the essential components needed for a rack and pinion greenhouse ridge vent system.
- Motorized Vent Operation: Includes an LVM 100 Ridge Vent Motor for motorized ventilation control; controller sold separately.
- Improved Greenhouse Airflow: Helps release heat and moisture through the ridge or peak of the structure where warm air naturally rises.
- Flexible Installation: Suitable for experienced DIY builders, greenhouse contractors, new builds, and retrofit applications.
- Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Hardware: Built with commercial-grade, corrosion-resistant, weather-resistant components designed for greenhouse environments.
- Easier Shopping Experience: Reduces the need to buy individual ridge vent parts separately while still allowing customers to purchase individual components if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a rack and pinion ridge vent?
A: A rack and pinion ridge vent is a greenhouse roof ventilation system that opens and closes vents along the ridge or peak of a greenhouse. It helps release excess heat and moisture, improve airflow, and support better climate control inside the structure.
Q: What is included in the Rack and Pinion Ridge Vent Bundle?
A: The bundle includes the core components needed for a complete ridge vent setup, including drive pipe, vent rail, wirelock components, ridge vent arms, braces, racks, pinions, shaft hangers, hardware, seals, flashing, grease, an LVM 100 Ridge Vent Motor, and a motor adaptor. Exact component sizing may vary based on the selected vent size.
Q: Does this bundle include a controller?
A: No. This bundle includes a low-voltage ridge vent motor, but the controller is sold separately. A compatible controller is needed if you want automated operation based on temperature, humidity, or other environmental settings.
Q: Can this ridge vent bundle be used on a high tunnel?
A: Yes. This bundle is designed for use on many greenhouse and high tunnel structures, including polycarbonate and poly-film applications. It can be used for new construction or retrofit ventilation projects.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Many experienced DIY builders can install this system themselves, but customers may also choose to hire a greenhouse builder or contractor. Installation instructions are available to help support the installation process.
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Standard bundle sizes include 48", 72", 96", and 148" configurations. If your greenhouse or high tunnel requires a different size, contact CT Greenhouse for custom sizing options.
Q: Is this bundle for commercial or hobby greenhouses?
A: This bundle is suitable for both commercial greenhouse operations and hobby greenhouse projects. It is designed to support a wide range of greenhouse and high tunnel ventilation needs.
Q: Can I buy individual ridge vent parts instead of the full bundle?
A: Yes. This bundle is designed for customers who want everything needed in one package, but individual ridge vent components may also be purchased separately if you already have some of the required parts.
