Cumulus Support

When you buy a Fine Offset from Ambient Weather here in the USA, they offer an optional solar shield. Here is a picture of the original sitting on top of the bracket of the larger, optional solar shield.

...... and I've just finished my own Stevenson Screen .....

How much is that option going to cost?????

Dan, when I bought it with the WS-2080 it was $29. I think it is $39 by itself.

Here is the link.

I know there are a lot of threads on google on making a home built.

What I wanted to show here was the difference in size.

Would a bunch of pie plates stacked up with spacers between be as effective? Cut the centres out of the bottom 8 or so plates and fasten with long stainless steel bolts? I suppose one would have to take into account the thermal conductivity of the the pie plates though Maybe aluminum wouldn't be the best.

looks a bit like my BBQ setting shield. I ran out pf plates though and had to resort to bowls.

Would you, by any chances, be referring to this thread: Home built FARS...

Nope, hadn't seen that thread. I thought I was just being funny with the suggestion of pie plates. Guess not.

Well, it has been done with what appears to be plastic picnic bowls... Too bad it had to be painted white...

Yep! Plastic picnic bowls was what I used
