Make ventilation holes in the shed - can I handle it?

[kimpano]

Yes.

becomes a long drill.
it must be the thickness of the wall :wow:

Ha-ha, yes, it can become decently long. The point of drilling with a smaller but long drill first is so you don't hesitate where to start with the hole saw from the opposite side. Otherwise, good advice in the thread, just go for it.

Do you really have that in such a small space?

Yes, otherwise there will be no air circulation.

Well, I don't have that in a cabin measuring three by three and about 2m in height. And there is circulation there.

In our non-insulated elongated cabin, 15 sqm, we have 2 vents 75cm above the floor and 1 or 2 on the gables. In the guest cabin, 1 vent on opposite walls and additional ones in the sauna. So yes, you need 2 vents to get air circulation.

We only have simple vents but are considering replacing the vent in the sleeping compartment (in the guest cabin) with a more advanced one. Unfortunately, the vent is located at the head end and when the north winds blow, it blows directly in.

of course, you need two. but they don’t need to be at different heights.

Continuing here, I have a friggebod of about 10 sqm that will become a teen room. It has no ventilation today.
Is 1 air intake vent needed near the "floor" and 1 exhaust vent near the "ceiling"?

Can these be used for both intake and exhaust air?

Continuing here, I have a small house about 10 sqm that will become a teenager's room, currently, there is no ventilation.
Is it needed to have 1 supply air vent down by the "floor" and 1 exhaust air vent by the "ceiling"?

Can these be used for both supply and exhaust air?

No, this is supply air. There are other round ones that are exhaust air. The supply air should be placed next to a window quite high up. I have the exhaust air in the ceiling (in another room) with a spiral pipe in the attic and then out on the roof.

 

[Tobzter]

Yes, I have that in the big house too, but do I have supply air high above the window and exhaust air in the ceiling in the same room? Then it goes wrong, right?

 

[Ellenkaramellen]

No, not if you place them on opposite sides of the room. The important thing is to get the air moving. The exhaust should be placed in the ceiling because warm air rises. Therefore, you cannot use two identical vents.

 

[Ellenkaramellen]

You do not need to have the air intake high above the window. It can be positioned next to the window at the same height as the top edge of it.
