Reduce temperature in shed
- No electricity required
- Quiet
- Colours to match your shed

Nice

1:21 I'm curious why not also apply sealant before installing the whirlybird? Would that be more robust? I'm in a Do It Myself home repair: assess and repair water damage and install under eve intakes and an exhaust.

Where can I purchase this vent and especially its square sheet metal base? Most I see come in that odd octagonal shape. The square one made fitment on the roof ribs much better! Thank you

[@jordanherrin4525]

Did you find where to purchase this at? I’ve been looking myself.

Hi mate, can you have one of those fitted if you are in a BAL zone? Or are they rated to prevent embers? thanks very much and appreciate your awesome videos!

[@RoysSheds]
