In today's video, I show me installing turbine vents on my metal building to increase airflow to prevent moisture issues.

Good work. Nice building. I have a metal garage similar to yours, but much smaller. Also no insulation. My roofing ridges are horizontal and I haven’t figured out how to put turbines up there… yet. Thanks for sharing.

I made another video installing gable vents. You might can get away with those if you need some airflow. They even have powered ones. That might be an option since you have a horizontal roof. Thanks for checking out my video.

They have different sizes of these things. I’d go to your local hardware store and see what they have in stock. They have the recommended sq footage listed on the sizes they have. I’d imagine around 3 would be fine. They work great and move a lot of air! Check through my other videos because I did a few different things to finally get rid of all the humidity. It’s been about a year and all of my moisture and rust issues are gone.

Hi there, I have a shed almost exactly the same as yours and I am having serious issues with mold/mildew forming on mdf shelving and the thermometer readings for humidity are always around 80-90%I haven’t installed vents yet but I plan too, would you say installing these vents cured your issue with moisture inside the building? Thanks

Check through my other videos. I made a few of me installing the vents, waterproofing the base, and installing roof vents to pull the air through the vents. All of these together cured all of my moisture issues. Since doing all of these things it’s been close to a year and I haven’t had a dot of rust on anything.

It works excellent. No water coming through when it rains and really improved the airflow on the inside to eliminate humidity. I live in an extremely humid area and without the vents the building was very humid on the inside causing surface rust on my tools. Since the vents all the issues have been corrected. Thank you for checking out my video and commenting!

Yes I added large end gable vents. Check through my other videos for the things I did on the metal building to get rid of my moisture issues. It’s been about a year since I’ve done everything and all my moisture issues are gone.

Here is the model # DA2430 it's by masterflow I bought it from lowes but had to order online because they didn't have it in stock. A ton of people sell these though. I'm very happy with them.

In another video I put in huge gable vents on each side. I was really surprised at how much air flows through these buildings anyhow. It isn't airtight by any means thats for sure.

Yeah that’s def gonna leak. They make vents specific for metal roofs. Plus Whirly birds are garbage cause the plastic bearings wear out too quick

They have lifetime warranties? We've had inches of rain and tornadoes with no leaks yet. Also the bearings are not plastic.
