I am just at the point of moving my DC into position outside. I realized yesterday that the available room for the filter bag to inflate was much less than I had anticipated so I am guessing the top 10-15% will be scrunched up below the roof. Not sure if this will impede airflow and DC performance but it just accelerates the decision to vent directly outside.
I am fitting the super dust deputy on the front end so the majority of chips and dust will be caught in that stage. From others who have the same setup (50-760 + SDD) they all say the fines that end up in the collection bag is a really small amount so I am hoping for similar results. I fully understand the make up air issue and that is not a concern and there is no gas heater in the shop.
My questions relate to the ducting and vent. On the inside I am using 4" PVC so how big do I need to go on the external duct work and vent so as to not hamper the airflow. I was thinking 6" should be adequate. For the vent is there any difference venting on the side or through the roof . As I just finished adding the shingles I would rather not cut a hole without a good reason. You can see the setup in the pic below. two of the open panels will have doors and the middle one will be a fixed panel so could have the vent there.
