50000cfm on the back of the ram.  they are square and built like race car chassis with enclosures.  1 year old new commercial units.

two of these at each end would be nice. 

might need to get a bigger man lift with 4x4 for outside installation  :o

If your barn only have doors on one side of the building, then you should put a rollup door on the opposite side so that breeze can go through.  I know it'd be useless for you as an entry point but it will really help with ventilation and breeze going through the building.

edit: I went on street view to look at your barn. I see 4 vent stacks on the top of the roof.  Are there fans in these and do they work?

my idea is there is 14x14 door in the middle on the side.  one 48" fan on each end up at the peak will pull in the doors and then out to the ends with a 2min room air change over. 


there are 4 big vents but the steel beams peak under them.  no real way to duct a fan in them unless it was like a little 12" one maybe.   

i have also insulated the roof. 

that does remind me i do need to pull the insulation panel to clear the path to the 1 vent on the shop side thats blocked.

yesterday when i got home i opened the doors it was 102 at the temp on my fridge by the main door but 96 at the lift post that is near the 5' hole i cut in the side of the barn.  this gives hope that its going to work with some air flowing.

Any way to pull air in from the “basement”? I assume not without cutting the floor. Could work for moving things between anyway, but I assume floor space is more valuable.

DIY swamp cooler on one of those fans?

bottom floor has not great air quality, its dark, damp and animal shit.  smells pretty farm down there.  dont want to pull that upstairs.  its cold down there in may/June but by now its warming up not much better than outside. 



DIY swamp cooler is not a bad idea.  i might play with that at some point.  i plan to put wheels and welding cords on the two smaller 36" fans to make them portable. HF soaker hose?

It is too humid in NY for a swamp cooler to do anything other than add humidity to the already humid air.  ;D
