Cool…. Well Not Cool Actually…..

  1. Anyone else find their garage is like an oven in the summer? Mine has a flat roof which doesn’t help I think. I ended up working just in shorts this morning and was still sweating like a pig. I don’t like working with the garage door open as we are next to a nature reserve and loads of people walk past. Door on the other end goes to a utility so not much air flow.

    I am wondering what options there are and have thought about a bathroom type extractor fan but there must be better options out there. Also wondered if insulating the roof would make any difference but not sure it would really.
     
  2. I simply fitted the ceiling fan, it helps when hot and also helps to dry off the bike when wet.

  3. Yes, a ceiling fan will work wonders, get the air moving and it will feel cooler, although not on thermometer! Large slow blades the way to go.

  4. Larger the better.
     
  5. A 20 inch turbo fan -about £50- (metal frame) will take care of this. And since you can move it about you are always in the breeze.
