Hello everyone, I recently bought a house and I’m planning on moving my woodworking shop from my parent’s basement to the detached garage. The only problem is that it’s unbearably hot. I’m wondering the best way to insulate and heat/cool it enough to work out there. It’s a sloped roof with no soffits. I’m more confused about how to handle the roof. I see two or 3 possible options: With respect to heating and cooling, I don’t need it to be 70F year round, just bearable. Like between 40 and 80. This makes me think that insulating the ceiling is probably enough, and then adding a window unit and space heater would probably do it. From the small amount of research I’ve done and just general knowledge, I understand that ventilation is super important when it comes to the roof, but I don’t really know the best way to approach this since there aren’t any soffits to place vents in. Can someone with more experience point me in the right direction? Especially when it comes to how to correctly provide air flow for the roof. I’m leaning towards option 3 right now, as keeping the wood storage is pretty important to me, and it seems like it might make ventilation easier. I uploaded some pictures here |
