Custom Perforated Ventilation Guards for DIY Micro Climate Boxes: Boosting Urban Agriculture Performance

Custom Perforated Ventilation Guards for DIY Micro Climate Boxes: Boosting Urban Agriculture Performance

In 2025, a Vancouver-based urban agriculture startup expanded its rooftop farming operations. Inspired by Berlin’s DIY micro climate box project (Read Berlin’s case here), they adapted custom perforated ventilation guards to optimize airflow in high-humidity, salt-rich coastal conditions.

Advantages of Perforated Ventilation Guards in Micro Climate Boxes

When applied to small urban farming enclosures, these guards:

• Enhance Air Circulation: Reduces hotspots and humidity pockets inside the enclosure.

• Block Contaminants: Stops dust, insects, and airborne spores from entering.

• Adapt to Coastal Environments: Coated aluminum and marine-grade stainless steel resist corrosion from salty air.

Case Study: Vancouver Rooftop Farming Results

The team installed fine-slot perforated intake panels and matching exhaust covers across 12 rooftop climate boxes. After three months:

• 27% increase in yield for leafy greens.

• 40% reduction in fungal disease occurrence.

• Improved temperature uniformity, with only ±1.8°C variation.

Conclusion

The Vancouver rooftop farming project demonstrates that custom perforated ventilation guards can enhance airflow, improve crop yields, and reduce disease risks in DIY micro climate boxes, even in challenging coastal climates.
