? exhaust covering
Hi the following is a duplicate thread I posted in "studio"- wasn't sure which place it fit:
I'm still working on setting up a studio- took some time off to go to the sun for my annual winter dosage of vitamin D. Now back in the grey weather, day job, and anticipated fun with my new studio-
I need help figuring out how to cover my exhaust (ventilation) fan when not in use. It is mounted on an outside wall and on the outside is about a 14" diameter and it is mounted more than 8 feet high. (I'm only 5'2 !) ON the inside the diameter of the vent opening, in an overhead hood, is 12 inch diameter that houses a 10" duct- this sits about 36 inches above the work bench.
As a temporary solution, when we went out of town for a few weeks, was to take one of those really large brown plastic garbage bags- it fit perfectly and tight around the circumference on the outside- it was great protection from the worst of the rains and really windy days. And it remains in great condition. Though, This is far too impractical for everyday use.
The only thing I can think of to use as a cover is to perhaps rig together something metal with magnets to use on the inside opening. ??? Any ideas how to do this or other suggestions?
I may end up redoing my hood later- not totally happy with it- but will keep the exhaust fan- so I would still need solution for cover.
