What should I do up there to get the temp. in the garage down a bit?
I put a radiant barrier on my garage doors and it dropped the temp by about 20 degrees in the garage. I bought a couple of rolls of the thin radiant barrier at home depot along with a couple of rolls of 3m double sided tape, cut the barrier to fit inside the panels, around the air vents and around the windows, applied the tape, and BOOM, a cooler garage. My garage faces due west.
