Roof Air vent

Sep 11, 2007 0 Replies

I am building a large 'oak barn style' building, the building has



150mm square wood posts physically bolted to steel base plates on the concrete raft, on 2 sides (open sides) and also steel straps holding down walls to floor on the closed sides. Due to large open front, I still have concern over wind lift (although structural Engr seems happy with bolts & straps)

I seem to recall that on some farm buildings they have what I can best describe as large upturned casserole dishes ... these lie flat under normal conditions, but if a positive pressure builds under the roof, they lift allowing over pressure of air to vent out.



Anybody know what these are called or where to get them ?
