1. Install An Indoor Dryer Lint Trap

Probably the most common way to vent a dryer without a vent to the outside is to use an indoor dryer lint trap. These lint traps are basically detachable filters that are installed at the end of the flex vent behind the dryer. Most indoor lint traps use either one or two filters (and some use water) to filter the air of the highly flammable lint particles that dryers produce. You may be able to mount it on the wall, or it can just be left on the ground next to the dryer. Some indoor lint traps even have safety vent flaps which automatically opens to release exhaust if there is a clog blocking the vent. The downside of indoor lint traps is that you have to clean the filters pretty frequently in addition to the regular lint trap inside the dryer. Also, there is a chance of some lint particles (and humidity) going into the indoor air which wouldn’t happen with a normal setup. Read Also: How To Repair A Dryer Vent Hose?

2. Vent It To A Window The second way to vent a dryer without outside access is to just use a window if available. If this will be a permanent installation, I recommend getting a window dryer vent kit. These window dryer vent kits will allow you to install it on the bottom of a window but which covers the sides to prevent outdoor air from going inside.

It is similar to a portable A/C window connection, except that the dryer vent hood has a flapper. And if it is a temporary situation, you could just put the flexible hose out the window, and stuff the sides of the window with something to prevent air infiltration.

However, the is no ‘standard size’ – this would simply depend on what works for you in your garden and how much storage space you need. When considering your purchase it is recommended to note the position of the door and to check which way round shed companies display their dimensions. An 8×6 at one shed company may be a 6×8 at another. So be sure to check when ordering which size is for which side and which side you require the door on.
