So, I have a non-vented secured garage for the bikes and tools.
That means, locked, no doors, no windows, no vents.
Hot box.
100 today and sitting in here with the bike and wind machine fan blowing maybe 110 degree air around inside-even with garage door open...
Don't want to cut holes if I don't have to and give access to my stuff.
Anyone have any ideas, or have tried any portables that really cool the room?

Thanks!!!

 

Only thing I can suggest is turbans on the roof. How many sq ft is the garage?

 

Small-
Bike side is only 1 1/2 car size-

My buddies shop has swap coolers on the roof, and honestly, in the summer, they suck-

 

Mini split A/C system. One hole in the wall to run piping and wiring through, maybe 3" diameter. Then the hole is sealed with expanding foam.

 

Get one of those portable stand up air conditioners that require just a small (4"-6" guessing) hole for water condensation discharge.

Other than that what Apendejo said.

 

Another idea is a 10,000 BTU Frigidaire 115V window A/C unit. They are all digital and energy saver and you can set the timer on the remote control. Mount it up high, only need to cut a 14"X 19" hole in the wall and with some good old biker ingenuity make it secure and thief proof.

 

Thanks guys for your feedback-
Everyone so far says some cutting is gonna be needed. Reason why I am gun shy, is had a bike stolen and another buddy had one stolen out of his "clicker style" garage door.
I lock and seal mine and so far, so good...

Anyone else running turbans and it cools enough? Would hate to start cutting, then it's still hot in here, or I cause other problems-

Thanks, and what is an AC mini split system?

Hippie49-
Any portable AC's that really cool the room?

Appreciate the help, as I went to lite a stogie, took a couple hits, and said, too damn hot, and put it out.

 

Don't know anything about these but are what I am talking about.

Hope you find something so you can enjoy being out there.

Portable A/C units are very expensive and pretty useless, I tried that rout in my condo a few years ago, if you sit right next to it with the vent in your face it sort of worked.

 

Put in a window unit and be done with it. There's ways to make it inaccessible. Besides, it's not like you've got everything in a vault. You've already got a hole in the wall big enough to drive a car through.
