I've converted my small shed into a gym but the ventilation is really poor and it is a bit damp in there. On either side are the neighbours sheds, and I don't want to mess with the back wall because that is probably shared by the occupants opposite. So I only have the one wall to work with facing the house. What would be the best way to ventilate the room passively (and not just by opening the doors)? I was looking at air bricks and I think i'm going to install one, or two. Where would be the best place to put them on the one wall? I was thinking of putting one high and one low, on either side of the wall. Or just installing one on the side, away from the door, and installing a vent into the door. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
In my log cabin, I drilled large holes in one wall - one up top another near the floor and fitted these vents on the outside On the inside I've got cheap plastic vent plates that can open/close but keep them open to allow air to flow.
Yes, one up high, one low above it. It provides enough ventilation I think, no hint of damp. Does the job. You don't need much ventilation I think, just enough for air to circulate a bit and allow air to enter/exit the place as it warms and cools.
