Questions from Forres
Can I have a manual opening vent?
Manual vents are rare on lanterns because they are out of reach. Electric operation is standard.
What happens if it rains while the vent is open?
With a rain sensor the vent closes automatically. Without one it stays where you left it, so a sensor is worth having.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Forres?
With the midsummer sun about 55.8° high at noon, roof glass in Forres gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.

Yes. Delivery to Forres (IV36) is quoted for your exact postcode and confirmed in writing on your quote, together with the lead time.
