It's a low-pitch, but you won't be worrying about snow.
For the main 2-bay, there are a/c powered venting fans that turn on at a certain temp. Solar too.
Those existing gable vents seem like it's not enough for hot southern sun.
Add a ridge vent at the peak, or louvers there as well?
Drill holes between the bays?
I don't know.

Yes I have considered a solar gable vent fan for the main 2 car garage. You got me thinking about drilling holes in the 3rd bay. The 2x4's are actually screwed to the end boards of the soffitt from the 2 bay. If I were to drill a 3 " hole in the middle of each 16 " center rafters the hot air should flow from the 3rd bay to the 2 bay main. Add ridge vent on main and/or a solar gable fan should do the trick. I may have to add additional soffitt vents on left side of 3rd bay but that's easy to do. I think I have a plan. Thanks
