I have a 50 by 80 Arch Style U S Building ( metal quonset style). It needs to get some air moving inside, moisture hangs on everything and rust is a problem. Would a vent in each end do the job or do I need vents in roof? If roof vents, Do you mount them in the valley or on the ridge? It has a strip of angle iron running length of building on top to keep arches spaced, Can roof vents be off to the side or would I have to cut vent and mount around angle iron. When I put up building, I said I wanted vents and salesman wouldn't even give me a price, said they were too high priced and to go to Menard's or Home Depot and buy them there. Problem is, they are all made for flat roofs, not for arches, so I have to make something to fit them. Does anyone have a building like this any what did you do? Thanks in advance, Chris

You might also consider power vents that work off of a thermostat, might be better than a timer.Also it might be possible to find one activated by humidity, which would hopefully solve your rust problems. Good luck, Mike

I'd agree with Roy.
Even if you don't have power for exhaust fans I'd think you'd do better with louvered vents on the end walls. You might not get as much ventilation, but I can't help thinking that if you start out making holes in the roof you'll always have trouble with leaks.
Good luck, Wm

I would install end wall louvered power vents..Not terribly expensive..Put them on motorized timers and forget about them..

Chris, I have a 40x60,I haven`t got the ends in yet but I plan to put vents in both ends with a fan on the south end blowing out. I put up one but it will be the last!
