Great video. A mate of mine does roofs & installs these if the customer wants. He buys the bastion vents from Bunnings & hits them with a can of spray paint (misting spray) pre install & then if necessary again when installed. You can’t tell it wasn’t bought coloured from a few metres away, let alone the ground. Saves $100 per vent
Thanks. Yeah nice, they are great for the price
So easy to follow! Thank you! 😊
😁😁😁
Don’t silicon all the bottom in order to leave a drainage hole.

You’re welcome, have fun with the install
So helpful! Thank you 😊
Thanks. Stay tuned, more to come

Thank you, much appreciated. That was my first video so hopefully I’ve somewhat improved since then haha
Thank you so much for sharing. Very well done. Much appreciated. I had been wetting my pants about installing these on a tiny house, however with your demo thinking it will be a piece of cake.
You’re welcome & good luck with the install.
Best tutorial is the simplest, what you did was perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Was my first ever video so a bit clunky. But thanks, appreciate it.
God Bless You Brother
Happy to help
Borat installs Whirlybird. And there's my wiife.
Hi, my name a Borat. Very nice!
Great easy to follow video 👍 Would this type of vent be sufficient to install on a flat tin roof which is on a small room at the side of our house, which we use as a utility room here in england
Thank you. Yes definitely can install on a flat roof
Not sure why you had to go underneath to fit the actual whirlybird vent ? Got it to the adjustable shaft then fit shaft with screws ?
THANKS
You’re welcome
Nice am from the Phillipines
Great stuff 👍
The borat impression tho😂
😂🤣
Attic fan installation
does water gets inside if there is like hurricane or typhoon, rain together with fast wind?
Hi Arvin. Don’t have such severe weather events like that where I live. Do get heavy rain & wind & had no issues.
Hi, I would like to ask a question. I already installed 1 Whirlybird. And planning to install a ceiling exhaust fan. My question is, since I already have a whirlybird at the top of our roof, is it still necessary to add a separate duct for the exhaust fan? Or is it ok to just let the whirlybird suck the hot air from the exhaust fan?
Hi Ian. Yes require a separate duct
@@projectlex Thank you
@@ianrusseladem6752 no problem
What will happen during rainy day?
The design is such that water is prevented from getting through the fins and into the turbine itself, regardless of whether it is a windy day, or the rain is heavy or light.
Is this hard to maintain? Does it need to be lubricated at some point to keep on spinning and will small leaves enter? Im thinking of installing one but worried about water seeping and leaves entering
The design is such that water & leaves are prevented from getting through the fins and into the turbine itself, regardless of whether it is a windy day, or the rain is heavy or light. No lubricant required unless it stops spinning when there’s wind
So how do you get to the part needing lubricant? Pull it all apart ?
Yeh boiiii time to cut holes in my roof 🤣
Yeahhh!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
😃😀😀😀
Wouldn't rain get through the vanes?
No, the design prevents that
