    Does anyone know where I could obtain a simple wind driven ventilator for a damp shed. One similar to the one at the bottom of the page linked here.

    This is a residential request and I'm not looking for it to be fitted or anything. I just thought I'd try the collective brain before I started ringing (or driving) around. It's a legacy shed with casement walls so installing into the walls mightn't be the best option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    why is the shed damp? condensation?

    it looks very much similar to a special cowl youd fit on a flue to induce an updraught. Most decent building suppliers woul dhave these.

    One designed for use on a van might work?

    [Edit] Found a manufacturers website for van roof ventilators and their list of suitable applications also includes sheds so the above should work fine, I've PM'd you the details so you can check yourself.

    Thanks Do-more. That looks promising.

    Shed is an unusual construction. The side walls are not covered by the galvanized roof. They top of walls are tarred alright but the walls themselves are extremely porous. Like I said they are casement. I do need to fix/replace some of the plastic seals around where the galvanise is attached to the beams underneath but I think I still need to keep some air moving inside due to the damp walls.
