What I did with my ceiling fan and vaulted ceiling

I think I’m going to go with a wall mount option. Rather than suspended from the ceiling. Going to copy a mount along the lines of this

With the heater going to be placed at an angle blowing diagonally across the shop, I wouldn’t be hitting a truss every anchor point. That’s another delema not being able to access the attic for blocking

Still nothing?

I wish it was that easy lol I attached a picture of the garage. Planning on the heater in the left hand corner

I purchased a 75k Hot Dawg heater for my pole barn and am looking for recommendations on the best way to hang it from my vaulted ceilings. My barn has scissor trusses and is finished with white liner panel. I don’t have an access to get into the attic “no room to crawl around up there anyways”...

I’ve attached some pictures of my barn 😀

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a heater for my 32x48x12 pole barn here in West MI. Looking at the 75,000BTU Hot Dawg heater. Is the HDS really worth the extra 500$? I’m not in the shop a ton. Going to set the temp at 50 when I’m not there and crank it up when it’s time to work on...

I went with Pine Tounge and groove in my shop..gave it a cool look I think

I have gotten the humidity down to 50% with the dehumidifier. I’m not in the barn much in the summer time so it doesn’t get opened up to outside air often. I’m not sure if moisture came up from the slab when the frost came out of the ground this spring and that gave me the high humidity I was...

im About 10min from the shore of lake mi..I wouldn’t say my humidity is always higher than outside. It’s been a wet spring and seems to have high humidity with all the water we have gotten. Just need to dry things out inside the barn and keep them dry

Put a second dehumidifier in the barn and have brought the humidity down from 81% to 67% since last night. It’s slowly going down, we will see if I can keep it around 55% or so once it gets down that low. I taped a couple squares of 4mil plastic on my floor last night and still see no moisture...

Looking to purchase a serious dehumidifier for my pole barn. Have 80% humidity and the little ones can’t keep up..spray foamed walls, building is sealed tight. Is the Santa Fe dehumider as good as everyone says it is? 1500sqf

Thanks for the help trying to get to the bottom of this..spray foamer just did the walls and didn’t block any venting. I insulated the ceilings with the Kraft faced batts. The batts left proper room for ventilation from eaves to vent.

Water draining isn’t an issue..don’t have any pooling or standing water after rains. No gutters yet but will soon hopefully
