Metal vents have different dimensions but it’s recommended that you use 12-by-12 inch metal screened vents.

To allow the air to circulate freely in and out of the garage you should buy at least 2 vents.
This step is optional, but if you want your garage to look neat and pretty, you should do it. Paint the screened vents in the same color as your walls. Tip: Use spray paint for a more practical operation.
If you’re thinking about the best position for your vents, you must know that the higher you place them, the better, as this helps the hot air being pulled out of the garage. Mark the spot where you will install the vents with a pencil.

Use a screwdriver to tighten the provided screws and attach the vents to the sides of the holes you’ve made.
