I'd check with the code people to verify. Codes change constantly it seems but the last I knew was soffit vents 8' O.C. met code. --------------------------- Roy Constructive Criticism is Welcome. Website: Photography by Roy O'Dell |

I would have to agree with Roy....but make sure if you install soffit vents..you have some way for the air to move thru the attic..ie...a ridge vent or wirly birds...otherwise you will draw more air into the attic that will heat-up and you will defeat the purpose...If you actually want the Code for it I can get this to you tomarrow...I can ask an inspector friend to get this to me.....
