Im setting up shop in a 22x20 garage. I just had the underside of the roof sprayed with closed cell foam, and the walls filled with cellulose. It has several glass block windows but no windows that open. It has one pass through door, and a 16ft door that is relatively well sealed. I plan on gluing an inch of foam board to the big door to insulate it better. The garage is pretty tight and well sealed, the only real leakage being around the 16ft door. I bought a hanging natural gas forced air heater from Menards, a Beacon Morris brand. It has the option of using outside air for combustion. Im not really sure if the extra effort and expense of running the combustion air from outside would be of any benefit.
Ventilation is going to be a problem in there, with the doors closed just a few minutes of welding is creating a cloud that just hangs there forever. Im thinking that using the combustion air inside the garage would at least help move more air through the garage. I know I am going to need a better solution to my welding fumes problem and am looking into older threads for more options.
What do you guys think......and why?
