1. First, determine where you want to add the roof vents. Consider the location of the vents and the airflow it will provide to the house.
2. Plan to cut a hole in the roof for the vents. Measure the size of the vent and mark the area where the hole needs to be cut.
3. Use a reciprocating saw or jigsaw to cut the hole in the metal roof. Be careful not to damage the surrounding metal panels.
4. Install the vent flashing around the hole. The flashing acts as a barrier to prevent water from leaking into the hole through the roof.
