Couple of other things. Very important to paint the container a light color. The Henry's aluminum fiber roof coating does reflect a good deal of the sun plus it really seals the roof and will help guard against leaks. I highly recommend letting it cure about 60 days before walking on it and before rolling a couple coats of the highly reflective elastomeric "paint". I found if you just try the elastomeric only, rust will bleed up through. It works/performs much better on top of the Henry's aluminum coating versus just applying it directly to the metal
Also you could install a intake lower and it would probably perform a little better, but I elected to install it higher for security purposes. Believe it's performing just as well.
@@michaelettenhofer810 I went with a 18" wide vent. It fit flat between the ridges. At the bottom of it, had to put some flashing to go over the two ridges that fall between the 18" width. It's a bit hard to articulate here, but I'll zoom in on it in my next video as a few people have asked me. Going to move some dirt this weekend and rock. Weather has not been cooperating for me lol
No condensation issues. Between the whirlybird and large gable end vent. I have excellent airflow in and out. I am on top of a hill and catch a lot of wind which no doubt helps. They do make solar powered attic vents which could be an option if you don't have enough airflow.
I'm also thinking a solar powered fan would work if you don't have much wind in your area. I'm up on a hill and mine twirls day and night for most part
I think so. In another container, I did have two as I often pulled a loader in and out of the container. Helped tremendously venting diesel exhaust. Would probably help with excessive heat.

Great advice

How did you mount the vent on the back wall. where the indention is Thanks

Do you have any condensation issues did your whirley bird correct any
Thanks

Very nice. Does the turbine (whirlybird) itself leak?
No. Pretty much "sheds" any rain.

Great tips! Is there any benefit to having two or 3 turbines on a 40ft instead of just one? I live in CA and can get up to 115 in the summer.

Also the military style netting they use in Iraq would be a big help in your area I would think.
@@sprancho669 good to know, would your recommend 2 bottom vents as well? Or does that mess with the areo dynamics of sucking the hot air out?
