That came out excellent, like a pro made product. You're going have a signup sheet for orders on those beauties!

If i were to add some kind of removable cover with vent. Would it be best to use argon 90 or should i go for a waterproof sil?
Bit worried a out condensation?

I would definitely go with argon90 with a. Vent. Condensation will be a a factor with a waterproof material

I think you'd be pretty busy considering the lack of suppliers here in the UK

Unfortunately with the tax situation and small business red tape it doesnt work on the small scale in UK, but once i am retired it will be a lot eaiser

I did a similar design that I posted on a few years back and have been using since. Each of the three side segments were exactly 1/3 the length of the body and that has worked out well. I used tent poles (120* bend in the center) to spread mine.
