Matt, the cover is just one of those collapsable coolers/esky. It was dark blue on the outside & white on the inside, so it was getting rather hot in there so I cut the white internal lining out & slipped it over the external surface seeing I couldn't turn it inside out, being a coil spring designed esky. I'm also a cheapskate so I wasn't going to buy any white paint just for that.
I expect it won't last long in direct sunlight being plastic so I'll think about making a more suitable cover for it later.
Yes Dennis, ants/bugs could be a thing to watch out for, as well as dust moisture & excessive heat being the most obvious hazards.
The next thing I suppose will be a fully enclosed, insulated cover with filtered inlet(s) & exhaust fan..lol..with peltiers??
