My shake roof was replaced with sheating and comp shingles. The gable end vents were left in place. No other venting. Snow/ice are not an issue. Humidity is never a problem. Heat is. I live in a dry coastal climate. My garage itself is like a sauna in the summer. The attic storage space is unbearable.
The peak is arranged on the garage so that it forms a valley on one side. I could only put soffet vents on the other side and then only with a hole hog. It would be a pain, running into nails would be a problem.
Since I can no do it right to poor design of the roof, I was thinking that I could put a copula or section of ridge vent in the center and get improved flow from gable end vents. The flow would go in the ridge vents then up and out the coupla. I know it is far from ideal but would it help much?
Thanks,
Scot
