I just recently started a thread on fans, here it is for ya - https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=456946 Ultimately I ended up getting a Big *** Fan. 14 ft, 120,000 cfm. My shop is 35x50, so very close to your size. It was on the expensive side, but the airflow is...

I keep all my tools in the shop. If I need a screwdriver or something small, I'll walk it over. If I'm doing a larger project, I load up what I think I'll need on my cart and drive it all over at once.

Thanks for all the advice in this thread... after reading through and doing more research I decided to go with a Big *** Fan. I didn't want to go through the hassle with installing 4 or 6 smaller fans and possibly not being happy with it. The fan I ordered is 14' and on high it pulls 11amps...

Just finishing my 35x50x16... highly recommend doing at least one door on your non-60' wall for airflow and ease of ingress/egress. At first, I only had 2 doors on one side and there was absolutely no airflow. With it being summer here, it was pretty unbearable. I immediately added a 12x12 to...

Here's a pic of our old garage with the 32" radius. Compared to the other door you can see how much higher the track is.

How high are your ceilings? You can do a 32" radius turn with a high lift and the door will not hang low like a traditional house garage door...

Just finishing up my 35x50x16 and I wanted to share some information, including a cost breakdown and a few lessons learned throughout the process. Location - Las Vegas, NV Stick build Stucco siding Asphalt shingle roof Overhead doors: 14x14, 12x12, 12x12 My wife and I did pretty much...

Ummmm what? Did somebody tell you you had to? It was a question asking if anyone worries about it, not a statement telling you that you should.

Yes, they both decrease as they charge, but they don't really seem to cool off much.

Of course I'm not talking about trickle chargers, drill batteries, phones, etc... For some reason I don't feel 100% comfortable leaving my 36v utility cart or 36v scissor lift charging when I'm not home or in the shop. I think it's mostly due to how hot the actual chargers get... While...

LOL... exactly!

So out of curiosity, the light you linked has the same lumens per watt as the one I linked and you doubted that number. Does that have to do with it being UL listed?

He mentioned in an above post over 12'. Mine are at 16' (about 1' lower than my 17' ceilings and I have no glare with a good beam pattern).

Probably sound advice. They had some solid reviews on Amazon, which is what I mostly look at these days. As far as lumens, I'm sure you're right. Thing is though... I don't really care. How many lumens are my Tundra headlights? Not sure, but they are bright enough to see what I want. How...

What dimmers did you use? Just standard slide dimmers? I thought about using one, just not sure I'd ever want the lights on a lower setting...

I tried searching, but because LED and UFO are short words, nothing really comes up regarding these lights. My last garage was 3 car 600 sq ft and I had nine 8' t8 fixtures in there. It was amazingly bright and a great workspace. I knew I wanted about the same lumens per sq ft in my new shop...

Thank you for the feedback

How high are your ceilings? I worry that even if I added a few of the 3 blade like yours at 16', it would be a 'jet' of air under it but not much around it... maybe I'm wrong though!

Looking at getting some fans for air movement in the shop. My last garage was a simple 3 car with two of the 3-bladed industrial looking white fans. They moved a ton of air and I was really happy with them. Now I'm just finishing up a 35x50x16 detached and looking at fans again. I feel like...
