Shade System of the Hut of the GlamTech Warrior

The Hut on the playa has two layers of shade. The goal is to protect containers and space between containers from sun-related heat.

Under layer

The under layer provides shade to the space between the containers. It is a 20' x 20' silver/brown tarp (available here or here) supported by guy-wires secured to the top anchor points of the containers with ratchet straps and crossing in the center for additional support.

Top layer

The top layer covers both containers and the space in-between. It is a 70' x 40' piece of aluminet connected to the outside of the containers with two dozen bungee cords. A couple of inches of separation between the aliminet and the container roof/sides will provide breathing space that will help lower temperature inside containers. If aluminet is not available, it can be replaced with smaller pieces of fabric. D22HutOfTheGlamTechWarrior.3.jpg
