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?
 
  • Wooden beams with layers of insulation in green and blue, sections outlined in red and yellow for ventilation planning, with a measuring tape showing dimensions.
I would cut just inside the panel's air gap so the insulation only rests on the wall, not beyond the framework. The board should meet the air deflector.
