This is a follow up to Mark Singers roof venting approach.
Mark, You are so right about our California wines! I am very excited about your roof venting idea as it will also save valuable space and $$$. I figure I will install the unit first and then have a roofing contractor friend of mine install the vent. Did you elbow up with your ducting? 6" ducting? I'm going to order the 2hp commercial unit to ensure that I have enough flow. I have enough headroom in one corner of the garage to accommodate the height of that unit. I'll go with a 35 gal drum to make it easier for this old man to empty!
I'm also going to wait until the unit is installed before I order any of the remaining ducting as I'll need to see how I''m going to run it to avoid rafters, garage door opener etc.
I'm also going to have to move a storage platform that is in that corner above the rafters to accomodate the cyclone. Knowing that the rafters in this particular garage were never meant to carry any weight. (Just 2X4's lapped and nailed together mid way across and tied to the peak of the roof). I'm going to have to contstruct some kind of support. Any suggestions on how to approach this?
