After insulating my single man flip over with reflectix. I wanted to insulate to CLAM HUB. Reflectix material is way to bulky and heavy to insulate a HUB with. *** Unless you want to take it down every time you fold your HUB up and store etc...
Ebay: Emergency blankt. Got a 4 pack for $6. They also come in gold. Not sure if there is any retained heat differance, or just color?
I lined the roof by linging the ERB @ a diagnol inside.
I had to cut slits in the middle of the ERB, so when tucked under the rods, it could go all the way up to the center of the HUB.
I then placed duct tape over the edges that got cut. The ERB is extremely durable. But once its cut its tears real easily. By placing the duct tape along the edges that got cut, and re-enforced the center that got cut, there was no concern of it tearing anymore.
The HUB roof lining is held onto the rods by velcro straps. Undo the velcro straps so the ERB can easily slid under the rods.
Office clips: Not sure what these are called. They are pretty cheap. Im sure you can get them @ any office max or office depot store? I had them in my desk...
Flooring. Got from Fleet Farm. 5x5. Insulated non-slip rubber backing. Says can get years of use out of it with lots of wear & tear. And can be just hosed off.
I lined the roof by placing the ERB (emergency blankt ) up under the rods.
There will be excess hanging over @ each end.
Slide the ERB all the way down the rods. Unfortunetely there is an outter sleve in each corner where all the rods connect. I could not figure out a way to get under it. So the ERB only goes down so far.
Then take a 2nd ERB and do the exact same process as above and line the other side of the HUB.
Now you can take that 2nd layer of ERB that is excess and tuck the 1st excess lay under the 2nd.
*** what I plan to do is take some duct tape and tape the 2nd excess layer onto the 1st layer. This way there will be no excess ERB hanging down. No photos of this...yet
Once the roof is completely lined with both ERB's you will see a lot of material hanging down the sides.
I guess you could cut it , and then use duct tape on the cuts so it doesnt tear.
But what I did was folded it under each other right along the seem to make a straight flush line.
I then took the office clips, and clipped that folded ERB to the seem of the HUB that sticks out.
This way you have a nice clean line without having to mess with cutting the ERB etc...
The only downfall I can think of, is each time you set-up and take down you will need to remove the clips and re-attach. Oh well. Takes 1 min or less.
And. ta daaaa. Done.
I dont know how well this will work or how much heat it will retain. But for less then $10 and 60 mins you cant go wrong.
FYI: WARNING... if you have a cat... they will constantly be playing with the ERB
