Anyone had a go at using insulated aluminium panels for the walls and roof on a roll of roof OB
I haven’t Trevor but I’m looking at a design for a micro observatory at the moment and considering options for the external cladding. Do you have a link to an example of an insulated aluminium panel that you would be looking at?
I’m about to start one Trevor. I’ve ordered the stock to be delivered next week sometime. My OBS will only be small at around 1.8M square with a low roof height of 1.2M. Basically it’s just a big Esky. Coolroom panels all round. There is a couple of posts on IIS mentioning the panels in use. Good luck with yours.
My observatory (and the school one I assist with) are made from steel cold room panels. The smaller one is self supporting, the larger school observatory has a structural steel frame with the panels attached.
Not sure about the differences for aluminium panels.
Great any design etc I would like an idea how structurally sound here in WA where I live we can get easterly winds of around 70kph during summer nights and 40c days, so need something suitable scale 2mx2mx1.5m roll off roof
