I just did the vertical thing for the asics and it works very well !
For months i was changing almost every 2 weeks about how i should place the miners.
I have 6 of avalonminers and it was a pain at start to get a good soundproof and hot temperature proof solution.
Putting them in a normal room was not that bad for the temperature, the asics had all of the space in the room to cool themself but the problem was the noise as i do it in a small appartment.
Then i saw a video with a guy putting his mining gpu in a plant grow tent. I bought it on amazon and it actually works pretty well with asics too !
It removes a little bit of annoying high frequency of noise, but mostly, it is hermetic about the air so then you can control easily the temperature that you want in it, it will not be affected by the environment around.
That plus 2 more speed controlled fan for the input and output air.
But still the days that it was more hot outside, even with a neutral pression in the tent, the machines wouldnt stop being hotter and hotter.
So two days ago i've tried to put all the asics and the bottom of the tent and use the natural physics of the cold/hot air by putting them vertically and tada!! It works !!!
All the heat coming from the frontal out fan of the asics is obviously coming directly to the top where the fan is getting out the hot hair, and so then it will not rebounced everywhere on the sides.
Plus, the other heat that is getting out from the metal cover all around the asics is getting directly on the top without affecting the air around it, without getting all other sides and to heat the air at the bottom of the hermetic tent.
It gives more 15 free more degrees celcius. It's -5 degrees outside tho, but still. I had them around 20-22 before, and now they're around 5-7.
It is an old topic but i hope that at least a few people will try it, we dont see much topic about asics put vertically for mining neither any videos, while it's so effective...
The tent:

Do you have any images of how you mounted them? For me its not and issue of get the miner vertical but where do you position the PSU especially when you use the bitmain one with not much slack. If anyone can attach links to other post I'd appreciate it
You have to use a steel wire shelving cabinet-storage like this:
