Eaves ventilation + panel ventilation
Started work on insulating the garage and storage room.
Using 25x50 battens and masonite as an air gap (green + blue in the image).
The circled yellow area will be meshed to stop insects and allow air to flow in/out of the attic.
However, I wonder what I should place where the panel ends (red in the image)?
There will likely be insulation on top, so I want as little air in as possible while still allowing airflow behind the panel (right?).
Should I use wind barrier, plastic, or something else I haven't considered?

Bumping my thread.
Anyone who has tested cardboard air gap boards like Tecca AirGap Eaves

Seems like a simple solution, but how does it hold up over time?
