Hi Gordon,

Orion has a detailed design for a very good Stevenson / radiation screen (for use with the WH1081),
that I have recently built (with a few modifications to), which does a great job, looks good and will
last for ages. It is a stacked bowl version, rather than a square vented one.


See thread here: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5023

Hope this helps.

Sorry only just replied, but very busy at the moment.

I got the bowl's here: http://isabis-leisure.co.uk/index.php?r ... uct_id=255

The modifications I did, were to use 4No. threaded rods, instead of the 3No that Orion used.

Also I have the screen, bottom mounted on two brackets, rather than top mounted, so I could
utilise my exisiting Solar Fan (from my previous screen), positioned on top.
