If you didn't get ridge/roof vents, you absolutely NEED gable vents, but I wouldn't forego ridge/roof vents, relying totally on gable soffit, and hopefully neither would your supplier. Vented gable soffit, in addition to ridge/roof vents, will help with the chimney effect. The more the better, provided it's installed right, and baffled to prevent windtunnel effects. I guess if your "construction friends" questioned it, I'd question their knowledge about ventilation.

Wish I would have known sooner, probably would have just went to 16" on the gable ends instead of 24" all the way round.Ĭould put plastic on first, effectively sealing off the vents on the gable end.
