View Full Version : Exhaust in garage
robert68 Jan 19th, 06, 08:28 PM Hey,
Anyone fab together an exhaust ventilation system for their garage, couple metal tubes under the garage door.
Anybody do one real nice. got a pic?
Safe to do this???
Seems like a great source of heat also.
Types of tubing, how far out from house, etc.
It'd be great to be able to tune inside - Thanks
rmadsen55 Jan 19th, 06, 11:13 PM What I did allbeit a temporary setup was buy a couple of those flexible hoses for hooking a clothes dryer up and just ran them out under the door. I sealed them to the exaust pipes with aluminum tape. Which turned out to be a dumb idea as it got gunk on my chrome tips. I recomemd sealing it a different way. Ah well live and learn.

Scott Taylor Jan 20th, 06, 07:37 AM I've found that opening the garage door works pretty well.

Also works good in TX. 70*F January weather is awesome!!

J Meadows Jan 21st, 06, 12:31 AM I like Codi use downspout extensions only cost maybe $20 total and slide them under the garage door. The exhaust hose kits were over $100 but they do go throught the door.

I would like to have been there for that conversation...."Um, excuse me "Bob", is there a chance i could take the downspout extensions off your house and borrow them for a bit." :D

Codi Jan 24th, 06, 10:17 AM I was supposed to ask first?
