I need a 4 or 4.5 x 9" terracotta closable vent. But can I find one
anywhere? No! I don't know why - anyone know where I might find one?
Or if not, where to get terracotta plastic to make one.


thanks, NT

No, but it is sometimes used to describe a colour.

No, but it is sometimes used to describe a colour.

as in 'plastic yellow' or 'plastic green'?

anyway if that's what he wants cut up some plastic flower pots.

Or spray paint the plastic.

Well, lots more googling has only demonstrated that they just dont
exist in terracotta colour. I cant imagine why.

And I dont see how to make one out of a plant pot!

So now I need to design something - but out of what?

I cant find a terracotta colour one, do you have a product code?

What does hit & miss mean in this context?

There are fixed and moving slotted screesn. By sliding the moving
one, the size of the holes can be varied.

I like it, the smart airbrick. Its a shame it falls short of doing
what's needed though. I want to close it at will basically.
