This is usually done by simply picking air from bellow something. Either you put an outdoor shield or you take air in from holes under the shed.
Excellent idea.

Excellent idea.
Sounds like a smart idea. Would the Miners also benefit from another fan to help them push that hot toward the exhaust as the 120MM Fans can only push the hot air so far or would the exhaust fan pull enough air where it wouldn't matter and would already provide this extra circulation? Do you have a picture of your setup by any chance?
So you think those 2 fans should be sufficient for this 100 SF Shed? I wanted the circulatory fan to help cool the Miners a bit too. They're both low wattage enough where it is still practical to use. Now I just need to figure out the best way to design the Exhaust FAN area outside to avoid rain or moisture coming in on strong rainy days.
P.S Would love to see other people's setup, lesson learns and what to avoid.

Well i can tell you why i was suggesting it that way. I can describe you my setup;
I have my miners blowing the hot air directly into a box fan that is pushing the air out a window, this way waters can't get in anyways.
If you do it this way you really wont need 2 fans. You should be coalescing your miner's exhaust to that output. It will make it so the first fan you pick to be completely overkill anyways.

@MCHouston - Can you share some pictures of your setup?
@Virosa - I'm thinking of something like this shed that is 10L x 10W x 7H. IT have 2 Air inlet. Picture show at site below.
http://www.megastoragesheds.com/sheds/gables/
Then I will use something like this Gable Fan for Exhaust. Just don't know how many CFM of a FAN I need. I would put a small little 45 degree room to cover over the exhaust fan to keep rain out

Plus 1 Air Circulator Fan to push the Air away from the Miners to the Exhaust FAN like below.

Again everything is still on the planning stage and I'm not set of any layout or equipment yet. I am open to suggestions and recommendations from you all that have experience with this and how I can handle storms, humidity, etc.

Just the first fan would be enough to pull enough air out. As long as the hot air does not get trapped, it depend on how you setup your circulation. It would be a pretty expensive setup but it would be pretty cool.

Trying to build an outdoor Shed for the summer bitcoin mining here in in HOT and HUMID Houston. Need advice and would love to see how other people are handling the heat and humidity running these equipment in an outdoor shed without AC and just force AIR. I have a space for a 10L x 10W x 7H Shed and would like to run about 5-7 Antminer S7 or Avalons. at up to 8KW+ of wattage, the normal formula calculate for AC is WATT x 3.14BTU for cooling and I think 24K BTU is just way too expensive to run for such a small setup for FAN Exhaust and FAN to blow the hot air out is what I'm been recommended. Would love to hear success stories and learn from everyone's experience of whether this is a good or bad idea.
Yes, don't use AC. There is no problem doing this imo, just gotta keep in mind that your air intake, during storm could blow in water. Mine is protected by being at ground level and covered by a balcony, so water does not get in, unless there's so much wind that it can uplift water.
There is probably bunch of ways to go about this but the easiest would be to have a mostly airtight shed with a high performance fan at the outake, with some holes open at the intake that does not allow water in.
This is usually done by simply picking air from bellow something. Either you put an outdoor shield or you take air in from holes under the shed.
I am in Houston. I run miners in sheds for some of my mines. I run a couple hundred KW of miners. All using fans for cooling no AC
I'm surprised I thought more would share out there. You will for sure need a way to extract heat. If you have vent's in room it will help as heat's rise and some go out.
Mine is quite long and large on miner area and has possibility of using up to 100 amp. I use a gable fan like attics but it was expensive for commercial grade, as home grade was not enough for my miners.
I would think there is a cheaper fan out there then gable fan's. But the install seems some are more involved then others. Also a way to keep rain out is important it can be done with gable vent's. http://www.homedepot.com/b/Heating-Venting-Cooling-Ventilation-Roofing-Attic-Ventilation-Gable-Louvered-Vents/N-5yc1vZc667
And fan's are a whole different story. I'm hoping again your's with shed can be done much cheaper then mine added up to. If it is expensive lowes almost always has decent coupons on ebay. But with it being summer it's harder and harder to get fan's, for most places it's seasonal on brick and mortar stores.

I'm running it out of my garage right now to take advantage of the Winter free cooling but I need a longer term solution and I'm sure this is the right place for that. Hoping to see some people's outdoor setup to get some ideas.
Wow, interesting idea! I'm personally running my little setup in my garage currently just an s1, and some fury's and gridseeds.... however I had a few GPU's running out here back in the day aswell. All I've ever used for cooling is 2 box fans and all seems well. However I do also underclock everything through the summer.
