At the top of the walls there is a sloping lip with about a 2"-3" inner wall, the inner ring is attached to it. The dome wheels run on the lip. Where the walls join at the top, the waterproof sealing should actually cover the area of the lip but there is a gap (as shown on the attached photo) waterproof tape was supplied to cover that gap and extend across the join on the lip. I had to make sure that the gap (as shown) was covered otherwise water could seep in and down the walls, I ended up using a silicon sealer to fill in this gap. I appreciate that the rubber skirt on the dome is supposed to stop water from entering but water from the hinges should, if it comes in, run down the dome and onto the sloping lip and onto the outside.

I have never had any problems with the bays, sure it's not just condesation although that shouldn't happen with the wooden base.

Hope that explains things a bit better
