I currently just have the door open which is fine with this weather. I'll probably put a lower vent on the back of the shed (south facing) and a higher one on the other side. I may be building a small awning over the shed door to keep the weather off, so will see about putting it under that. Lower vent on the south side since that'll be the inlet as, like I've learnt recently, damp air is lighter!

The damp wicks it s way into the unglazed pipes and falls out of the lower end. The gauze across the vents is needed. My fan failed to work again, until I had removed all the spiders webs locking the blades! A well insulated shop warms up quickly, then needs little extra heating to stay warm and is cosy. Less chance of dropping things because of cold hands. And rust is much less of a worry. I painted mine gloss white inside (Although bthe walls are now covered by shelves and what is on them. The worklights all have LED sop bulbs now! Literally brilliant! Howard
