Screwfix do brown with sliding vent and fly screen and, I think, the same in silver.

Try...

https://www.screwfix.com/p/map-vent-fix ... 52mm/570hy

Or search on product code 570HY

Oops, that's fixed and the same one Felix found. I'll have another look. You could put a fixed with mesh on the outside and a slider on the inside?

Had another look and you're right no adjustable with mesh.. :(

So, either add your own mesh or, as suggested, you can put a fixed on the outside and a slider on the inside.

Not sure this helps much but I'd call them Hit And Miss Vents.

Might help with the search and if you can't get one with the mesh you can just put mesh behind em.

its bought more options for sure, and ive found some fly screen on amazon that can just be cut, so that's a good option.

now trying to work out do I really need to open close them, if I can't will they interfere with me tubular heater???

here ones, where to place them, ive been reading that one should be high and one low.
the rear of the shed has about a gap of 40/50cm from the Fence and the right hand side is 15/20cm

thinking about the door, same place at the rear, then maybe one on each side.
