    24x12 shed.. need cooling advice.

    How would you put that on? just drape over the roof resting on the existing roof or build a frame for it? since the roof doesn't have a lot of pitch would worry about water pooling on it and weighting it down. I could pull it tight and staple it to the sides along the drip rail unless it...

    I turn the fans up to a much higher temp to kick on to see what the AC is able to do

    24x12 shed.. need cooling advice.

    good point.. the portable AC is running during the hotter parts of the day and the fans kick on at higher temps... right or wrong, I thought the fans up along the roof would **** out how aire and draw the cooler air from down low where the portable AC is..

    24x12 shed.. need cooling advice.

    I actually forget if it was R19 or R13 but take from your post, it should be more.. would have to pull down the tongue and grove which is not a Huge deal but if that would help. Would it be worth it to tear down the ceiling and put r38 there or just do the split unit?
