welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm going to show you how I put in some ventilation
on my garden shed build if you like I'll put the series from the beginning down below for using
it I've ever seen it before and this is the vents that I've decided to go with and I've got two of
these vents and they're just plastic and I've used these before and they're just great to install and
this will give me a lot more ventilation because it is way too hot in that shed yes I've got the
ventilation up around the soffits but you have to have some airflow air flow going in there first
to actually get some movement of air so what do I do I make myself up a little jig so I'll keep
this I'll put the two vents in to benzene enough well I'll put more I'll just show you on the back
here what I like to do is just make this so it matches just a little bit bigger I cut it just
a little bit bigger than the size there I'll take you up to the shed and I'll show you exactly what
I do with this these guys probably don't do this but I do I like to have everything nice
and square and level and make it easy to put in and install so let's go out to the shed and I'll
show you what I'm talking about okay so I got you inside the shed here and you can see where
I've got four holes here that's going through and what I done was level put it up to here through a
line across make sure this is level going across like this and then I get this board put it right
on the nice level line and as you can see I just mark up the four corners then I take my hole saw
one inch and I just go on all four corners all the way around and just drill through and now
on the outside we'll drill them holes through then I'll show you what I do next okay so here
we are in the back of the shed now we'll just Drew drill through from the outside in it's much better
than going the opposite direction so you don't have a bunch of busted oat fiber and this is a
lot easier to do anyways there we go okay I'll finish drilling the rest of them I'll show you
what it looks like and then I'll show you exactly what we do next well as you can see here the four
holes have been drilled from the outside in and if we take a good close look up there you could
see the whole idea behind using your one inch hole saw and just drawing a circle around and you can
eyeball it most times but that's the idea there now let's go out on the outside and show you how
we correspond on them lines to the outside well here we go right here and all you have to do is
just take your straight edge and go up go across and go up on the outside of all them holes and
that should line up I'm not too sure if you can see all them lines there so now we just got to
cut a note my favorite idea is going to be using the cordless circular saw and then finishing it
off with either array yeah a sawzall or a jigsaw but more likely we won't have to finish it off
with anything except just the circular saw so let's get to that right now okay what I like
to do is just make sure that your depth of your blade is not too deep you don't have to have it
in two inches or anything it just makes it harder to cut and I like to start off at the bottom my
last cut will be up here that way there nothing falls on you right so start off at the bottom
and then do your bolt the verticals and finish it off on the top so let's get to it right now
now you have to be very careful here doing a plunge cut that's for sure
there's the first one
let's do this site now like I said be very careful doing a plunge cut
there now we'll do the top now if you were to start it off at the top
I tell you what it's not gonna work out too good just get yourself nice
and comfortable you don't want to be too high you don't want to be too long
there it's almost through now there we go okay let's just finish off the corners with
my little reciprocating saw here there we go okay let's see if this Bank fits in here just
get it here look at that okay so how are we going to fasten this in here well I'm gonna
show you next stay tuned for this so when you get these vents you can see there's no
holes on the outside here but if you take a look closely right on the corner there you
can see right in there there's like a little bit of a divot and from the inside you just
drill a pilot hole the size of the screw you're going to use and I'll show you what I do next
okay so you can see here I got all the holes all done and on the inside on the
corner all the way around I just put a bead latex caulking I'll put it in the
frame here now and just set it in there it's as easy as that just like that now
the caulking does two things it holds it in there while you're positioning everything
just kind of squish it in a bit and what I'm gonna do is just take one screw at the top
that's it now I'll stick my level on and I have to have everything level
in square and that looks good right about there so we'll just fire in the
rest of the screws and that's pretty well lit now that's pretty easy to me
now the material I have is only 5/8 so I'm not putting in a big screw or anything and there
we go I'll finish putting the rest in then we'll take a look okay so let's go inside the shed and
take a look first to see what it looks like and you notice I never put one on this end here I
decided to put on the other end where you can't see it in the backyard plus the wind comes from
the other side most of the time anyways so I'll show you what we got so far here while really
brightens up in here eh so there it is right there and as you can see I went around on the inside
with caulking as well and yeah I got a fold-up full of stuff already and I did the same thing
here now on this one here if you notice I did go a little bit higher towards the top here and I also
extra sealed it on the inside all the way around too so let's go on the outside and let's take a
look see if it looks like there well here we are here you can see that one that I just showed you
last it's sitting a little bit higher and that's quite an easy job it took me longer to clean up
and put them in took me roughly 20 minutes for each one and yeah that's a nice easy job and I
think anybody could do this well what do you think yes I believe anybody could do this and here's the
cutouts here and it's as easy as just getting a little bit of a template marking it all out
and you can do it yourself no problem now you don't have to use a circular saw I use a DeWalt
cordless 20 volt circular saw making a plunge cut some people are not to come with it I can see why
it's you know it can't be dangerous but all you have to really do is just use a jigsaw you know
or a small sawzall doesn't really matter and you can just buzz it all the way around and just put
some caulking on push it in so it doesn't fall out on you before you put your screws in and seal it
all up and now I got one wall it doesn't have the event on there and that's because I really don't
get any prevailing winds from there but if it doesn't cool down in there well I'll throw another
one in there too so thanks for joining me here today that's I think it's an easy project that
I believe everybody could do and it's something that you really should do to whatever kind of
bench you have for your shed there's all kinds of different ways you can put them on the roof
you can do all kinds of different ventilation but you need good ventilation inside there because
for today put my thermometer in there 115 now I also put Vince on my Steel shed too because it's
like a blast furnace in there as well so thanks joining me here today if you haven't seen this
