How high are your walls?
I'm re-inventing my obs by adding a warm room and raising the walls. It's a roll-off design with 2 piers. The original walls were only 1200 high and I had to devise some quick-and-dirty panels to block the wind. But there remained a real weakness in that when the roof was rolled back, the roof tended to act as a funnel and air often rshed through the obs despite the panels.
So I've decided to make the wall panels permanent on all 4 sides and they are now at 2100. Also, I have cut my piers down so they are at most 700mm abouve the floor level. But I'm using big mounts and big scopes so that's quite a good height for me. But the high walls have put some new limitations on the sky I have to work with and the time also. I was wondering what others have done in relation to walls. I recognise of course that most domes behin with high walls and a good deal less visible sky. I was really thinking about people with roll-off systems.
