Red Sky Shelters : Red Sky Shelters :Home of the Yome

Red Sky Shelters : Red Sky Shelters :Home of the Yome

One of the best features of a Yome is the filtered light that passes through the wall to bathe the interior. Other manufacturers offer reflective foil insulation for the walls. But to cover the walls with an opaque material would make the Yome dark, particularly in Winter when light is most welcome. Instead, we offer panels of a recycled P.E.T. dacron fiberfill insulation encased in lightweight, fire resistant, acrylic-coated polyester Odyssey fabric. These translucent triangular panels tuck behind the side wall poles thus sealing on all sides to stop airflow. Insulating in the same manner as a sleeping bag, they naturally puff out from the side wall creating several inches of insulative air space.

DuPont™ Tyvek� ThermaWrap™

DuPont™ Tyvek� ThermaWrap™:

Increasing installed R-value of a wall system

Nearly two-thirds of the total heat lost or gained through the building envelope occurs through radiant heat flow.

DuPont™ Tyvek® ThermaWrap™ helps to regulate the radiant energy of wall systems for increased comfort and reduced energy costs. In winter, DuPont™ Tyvek® ThermaWrap™ helps keep radiant energy that’s accumulated in the wall sheathing from releasing to the exterior. In summer, the metalized surface reflects radiant heat out of the wall, helping to keep the interior cooler. Reducing radiant heat flow through the wall system is particularly important at the studs, plate lines, joists and headers where conductive heat flow through the wall is the greatest. This not only saves energy and reduces heating and cooling costs, it also changes the dew point in the wall to help reduce the risk of condensation which can lead to mildew, mold and wood rot in wall cavities.

So I've been thinking....

RadiantGUARD®

RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products are high quality, double-sided, tear and puncture resistant radiant barrier products of higher quality than many of the other radiant barrier products in the marketplace. All RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products meet the Standard Specifications for Sheet Radiant Barriers for Building Construction Applications ASTM C1313 and the State of California Title 24 Insulation Standards.

RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier products are available in "Standard", "Premium", and "Ultra" grade versions. Need help in deciding which radiant barrier grade you need?

Radiant GUARD, radiant barrier, foil insulation

RadiantGUARD® radiant barrier reflective foil insulation bubble products consist of one or two layers of bubble material laminated between layers of aluminum foil to provide excellent thermal resistance in a home insulation radiant barrier product. The bubble contains an air retention layer designed to provide increased strength and puncture resistance. The bubble layers provide a greater reduction of heat transfer. We offer various widths and versions with tabs for easier installation.

Most common applications for these radiant barrier bubble insulation products include pole barns, post and frame wall, metal building wall, post and frame attic, metal building roof, and agricultural buildings.

All our radiant barrier reflective foil insulation products can be reviewed and purchased online. For large volume, pallet and container shipment volume quotes, please contact us.

Boat Shrinkwrap :: Covering a greenhouse or polytunnel with plastic shrink wrap film

Boat Shrinkwrap :: Covering a greenhouse or polytunnel with plastic shrink wrap film


The plastic shrink wrap film has UVI and EVA additives. The UVI (Ultra Violet Inhibitor) is designed to slow the deterioration of the shrink wrap in sunlight whilst the EVA helps prevent the shrnk wrap becoming brittle in low temperatures. Normally, if the shrink wrap is applied correctly, you should expect to get around 2 years life from your shrink-wrap plastic cover.

  • Liner (Optional): The interior wall liner is installed after your dome is set up. Unroll the liner inside the dome. Locate the liner's center clip that is marked with a ribbon. Tie the string of this center clip to the top center ceiling clip of your dome. This is done by threading the string into one of the two holes and pulling the string back through the big center opening in the domes inner clip. This is easier if you use a tool like a crochet hook or a needle nose pliers to grip and pull it through.

rFOIL™ RRR – Reflective Ruff Rap is the new generation of Reflective House Wraps!

rFOIL™ Reflective Ruff Rap (RRR) represents the next generation in house wrap technology. This revolutionary new product offers the construction industry with a strong weather-resistant barrier, the added benefit of a Radiant Barrier, a tested R-3.8 value, and a Perm rating of 22.

rFOIL™ RRR is a single layer of highly reflective metalized aluminum, laminated to a formulated blend of polyethylene and is pin perforated. This results in a house wrap that acts not only as a superior air infiltration barrier, but it also adds a radiant barrier to the exterior of the home, blocking up to 96% of radiant heat. This results in better year round efficiency and comfort levels. Also, unlike other house wraps or insulating products that are traditionally used, rFOIL™ RRR is non-toxic and it’s performance is not affected by extended exposure to the elements.

Building a one-meter vegetation sampling frame

Building a one-meter vegetation sampling frame: "http://www.polesforyou.com/ "

Variant: Ultralight folding tent-pole frame:

This design has proved as servicable as the sturdy PVC, though at a higher cost in materials. It is a great saving in size and weight: about 0.7 pounds or 11 ounces (300g).
Materials for one bar are: Three tent pole sections, two grommet tips, a length of elastic shock cord, and materials for marking and connaction. Here is the parts list for the four bars that make up a complete sampling frame.
