Excellent point, Guy. I'd need also to introduce filtered air, in at least
the quantity that is being removed by the fans in the floor. So something
like 4 fans in the floor, and five fans in the top/sides, for example.
Because if there is one thing the Texas hill country has in abundance, it's
dust and bugs... <grin>

Greg,
I am no expert, but if you have fans drawing air out of the booth, that air
will be replaced with air sucked in from any gaps to the outside, and could
bring in dust, insects etc.
The method used in, for example, medical situations, is to pump fresh
filtered air in and create a positive pressure in the decontaminated area.
This creates a pressure gradient to the outside world that dust etc cannot
migrate against.
