Thanks Erik,

that looks pretty simple as a solution. I'll try it - may also put some Ametalin inside as well. Hell of a lot cheaper than building a new Obs.

My other problem is that one wall is exposed directly to the north, and another to the west. I'm not sure putting shiny stuff on the north wall next to the entertaining are will be allowed though :-(

cheers
Gary

I had some spare silver insulation left over from a renovation, which I duct taped to the roof. It has gone from unbearably hot, to quite bearable. It still gets quite warm on a 35 degree day, but nothing like it used to. Touching the roof from the inside actually feels quite cool, compared to the walls which are lie a frying pan!
