Questions & Answers

Does it have to be installed on the default screen?

Although I'm not sure what you mean when you say you would remove the screen from the flange, if that's what you mean, it'd be possible, but bugs could get onto your roof. In regards to installing without the actual flange, you could do so by prefixing You can drill holes in the frame, then screw the face into the wall board behind, or you can caulk the face to the opening without drilling it. If you want to keep insects and dirt out, you should still use the screened flange.

Do you have any plans to use this on a house with wood siding? Will it simply remove the siding and replace it?

Using the main image as a guide, you will need to cut a round hole for the inside part of the gator to slide into before you can attach it to the outside. You can use a pre-paid business card if you have one If there are any existing holes in your house, they should be cut out in the same size

The louvres should be able to open and close if the vent is functional, but there is no instruction on how to do this Is there anything I should know?

Fixated open at both ends.

This would be useful with a gable fan, right?

The answer is yes

The maximum area that can be vented
5/5

My favorite part about this 22 inch octagonal vent is that it is 22 inches high. There is an extremely large vent area, which is designed more as a circle rather than a rectangle. There is a lot of weight to the plastic. My heart beats fast when I read it. Since I need two, and Amazon does not have any more, I have reached out to the company to see if I could get another unit. It may be necessary for me to return it because of that. It's a good thing they restock the product.

I found it to be easy to install and it looks good
5/5

For an outdoor project, we purchased 2 of these Gable Vents. It was quick and easy to install and they look impressive. In this case, the board between the front and back cannot be any thicker than 5/8". Since the back is inside the structure, the front is on the outside, the thickness of the board between the front and back should not be any thicker than 5/8". It is also recommended to add caulk or silicone to prevent rainwater from leaking into the inside of the wood and rotting it.

They look great and are doing a great My attic is going to be saved when I buy this item
5/5

As a result of having a humidity sensor, the attic temperature was consistently up to 76-78 degrees F Two of them found a humidity range of 80 percent and since I installed them on opposite sides of the house, I haven't received another high humidity alarm. Their job is being done well, and they look good.

Depending on the thickness of your wall, the insulation may need to be adjusted
4/5

A twist occurs between the inner and outer pieces. On a jar, screwing it on is like screwing the cap on. Because I had to drill holes and use torx screws to attach the outside piece to my barn wall, I had to use a thick wood wall. The vent works properly and is OK in other respects.

This is a great product
5/5

The price is great and the quality is great. Normally they ask for a hundred dollars for a vent like this, but Amazin immediately took it back for a refund since I bought the wrong size.

This is a solid construction
5/5

It is a fairly simple process to install this. However, there is one thing that irks me about it It would have been convenient if the centerline had been holed so that it would be easier to level. Besides that, it went up easily and looks great.

The siding goes over the plywood, but I did not realize the plywood went over that
5/5

I messed up. Anyway, it looks good, and I will put it on when I redo the siding.

For the price, this is great
5/5

For my gable window cover, I used only the front piece and did not use the back. The design looks good and for the price, it is a great deal.
