Hi Martin,

Ive got a skyshed pod and the HTPE can mean they get very hot, and the joins are not water tight without sealant on the joins.
Darwin gets very hot, very humid and very wet. The Pod has performed outstandingly so far. I track the internal temp and humidity with an Arlec smart sensor from Bunnings. Its not the most accurate.

Ive installed a portable AC (12000BTU). Which can cool and dehumidify. Its reasonably effective, given the air gaps in the pod design. I suspect a bigger unit will help cool/dehumidify the pod (and neigbourhood) a bit better. I use foam filler for the gaps which does improve performance significantly.

In addition I use
DampRid buckets from Bunnings
Desiccant caps for the scopes
Telegizmo standard cover (foil, thin and light) for the pier and scope.

Cheers
