Dude. I originally went in and bought 1 board and was going to just cut squares for top/bottom as I mentioned. Employee messed up and had to cut another and gave me scraps for free. I ended with 4" foam board on top/bottom then just lay the scraps around the edges. Not only did it help warm the tent, but once the room got hotter than the tent, it helped keep it cooler inside as well. So I went and bought 2 more pieces and surrounded the whole tent in a 2" foam board box like you said. Chop sticks in sides to helps keep it rigid, taped all edges.
It is currently 33 outside, 77 in my tent. No heater, LED light on only 60%. I think it may have actually worked too well lmao, we’ll see if I can keep temps DOWN now once it starts warming up.
OK new problem. So I now have adequate temps in my tent, but now I am getting massive amounts of condensation (literally dripping) on my roof in the sunroom the tent is in. It was about 20 degrees this morn (and 70 in my tent), I am assuming this is from the warm air being exhausted into the same room? Is the only solution to tent outside at this point?
Yes, venting outside is really the best solution. I thought you might have this happen when I was reading your posts the other day. Sun rooms get hot and cold very quickly as they are mostly glass, with little insulation.
Windows seem fine but the entire ceiling had massive condensation. I can’t get anything set up today, but I’ll open some adjacent doors and see if it helps tonight. If so (even slightly) I’ll try setting up an exhaust outside somehow.
Bet those windows are double pane? Double pane separates the warm/cold.
The temp difference between inside and outside is the issue. Only way to stop it is lower temp diff on that roof. If you insulate it, I’d be worried about mold buildup behind insulation.
Plus warm air rises.
OK, so got the condensation mostly under control. It is no longer in the sunroom at all after setting up venting to go outside. I have noticed condensation along the lower 3 inches of the tent though on all walls except the back wall. Also, this morning there was condensation dripping from where the duct meets the exhaust fan? I changed the angle it exhausts to see if it helps as seen in pics. Humidity in tent is only 60%.
Lastly, can anyone provide advice on clip fans for a 3x3? How many and placement? I currently have 2 non-oscillating as I have seen many ppl complain about them burning up while oscillating. Is having them stationary fine?
