Mini Split optimal head placement

[alxmlr789]

Hi guys, I am prewiring my mini split today and wanted to get a few opinions on where the optimal head placement would be. I have drawn up a small sketch, and most of my work will be done at the rear of the garage. counter top table/hang out area will be in the back left corner. I do not want to see the outdoor unit from my pool which is along the left wall so that leaves me with two options. Also, since my walls are 12' high, how high do i want to place the cassette? I am reading 8-10FT

Option 1: Along the back 30' wall, above the tool boxes/cabinets, the air would be directed toward the front of the garage, towards the main doors

Option 2: Along the right 35' wall in the back right corner of the garage, essentially at the front right wheel of where my lift is installed. The air would be directed toward the left wall.

Option 3: not pictured: straight in front of the lift, off the the right of option 1

Here is the sketch. Hope it makes sense!

I would say option #1. That way it isn't blowing directly on you at the lift, and cold air will reach the front (hottest part) of the garage since it won't be blasting into the nose of a car or the side wall

Option #1 & for reference I mounted the bottom of mine 8' off the floor & I have 18' ceilings.

I have 30,000 BTU units & you can still feel the air about 40' away.

Thanks to you both. I think I will put it option 1. It will look symmetrical as well.

Option 1 here as well

In a perfect world w/ a tight building and good doors. Position # 1 will provide a nice flow -- especially with the unit going back and forth .. maintain temp.

If you plan on using it to cool down or heat up a non maintained building -- the side wall may be better as it's going to direct the air where you are.

At 30' -- it's not going to be blowing on you.

It will have a spray foamed roof, r19 walls and r15 garage doors with the green hinges

Look at the manuf specs for height off the floor. Keep in mind that with a high ceiling you will get stratification of temps. The actual stat element is mounted on the coil.
