Is the space insulated? Throw a cheapo A/C in the wall

Get a real fan. My current setup was an uphill battle every day untill i bought my 6" canfan. Now i have to turn it down to keep it a bit warm. Trust me, the home depot fan you have right now is junk compared to the real deal. Trust me iv been there.

make sure you pull the hot air out of the top of the room, hot air rises.also you could run a tube from a near by window to the air in let at the bottom of your box

A portable a/c unit will work, 9,000 BTU. You can tie the exhaust from it into your existing outlet. Problem is, this time of year they are an arm & a leg.:-|

My space was also the back of a garage, I found that running the lights at night was my best bet. In summer it was cooler at night and in winter the lights helped keep the space warm.
