A whirlybird ventilator exhausts heat from a shed without using electricity. For large sheds, a second ventilator may be required to properly exhaust the head.
Reduce temperature in shed
- No electricity required
- Quiet
- Colours to match your shed
- Removes the hot air trapped in the roof of the shed
- Reduces the condensation and dampness of the shed

Best installation video I've seen. Good job guys. Thanks

1:21 I'm curious why not also apply sealant before installing the whirlybird? Would that be more robust? I'm in a Do It Myself home repair: assess and repair water damage and install under eve intakes and an exhaust.

Nice

[@realamericanz4641]

Where can I purchase this vent and especially its square sheet metal base? Most I see come in that odd octagonal shape. The square one made fitment on the roof ribs much better! Thank you

[@jordanherrin4525]

Did you find where to purchase this at? I’ve been looking myself.

[@matthewgray577]

Bunnings have them.

[@BADQ]

Hi mate, can you have one of those fitted if you are in a BAL zone? Or are they rated to prevent embers? thanks very much and appreciate your awesome videos!

[@RoysSheds]
