Cooling down Wendy house?

[Herr der Verboten]

Hi guys. I have a 3x9 Wendy house, wooden frame with Nutec walls, insulated. x3 windows

Every summer however, it gets uncomfortably hot in here. I was wondering if anyone has idea's to cool it down?

Would a air cooler work (Those devices that cost between 1.5-3k) or would I need expensive air conditioning?

I have bad luck when I buy or get advice from anyone in my area trying to sell me things so I'm hoping to find better advice here. I'm a clueless individual

Wrap it in tin foil. Shiny side inwards..

I did once wonder if I put my wendy house under another roof for shade if that would help but that might come with it's own issues too.

Do it in summer.
Remove it for winter.
No more issues!

By the way, nice art!

Also, by the way: That "security" gate is useless without a full-length flat bar installed vertically adjacent to the side frame, surely?

Keeps the bugs out.

Sisalation. Line the walls and roof. It made my wendy shack liveable in summer.

To be honest. This stuff is useless. Might make an oven less of an oven but it will still be an oven. Just bakes a tad slower.

Where did you buy this from?

Don't.

Aircon will be working overtime against an exposed tin roof. Get some insulation in first, then install an aircon. Or be prepared to pay for power...

Lots and lots of BTUs.

Babes To Undress?

Yeah, well, maybe if he gets an aircon.

I've had certain plastics completely melt at some point and fake leather completely falling apart so far!
I fortunately live near the sea and my PC's have not melted yet.

Aircon may be the only way to go. Thanks for all the replies everyone! Might try to paint the roof first but it looks like I probably should save for aircon. Doing different insulation in the roof or walls is going to be a huge pain at this point.

Sadly the force doesn't help keep it cool

You might look at USA, since they also live in wooden houses.

It does not look like you have a ceiling which acts as a thermal barrier/break. I.e. the reason the ceiling/roof area is hotter than the house.

He's not going to cool down anything if he doesn't implement some form of heat exchanging pump.

The 1st thing you do is go and buy some megabond thermoshield heat reflecting paintg and paint the roof with it. It works very well for wendy houses. and will drop the temperature inside significantly.

The roof turns the wendy house into an oven.

This stuff was originally developed for the aerospace industry to use on space shuttles.

Perhaps you have or can get a gazebo to put over the wendy house. Will cool it plenty.

Steamy, steamy love(making) ...

Coastal winds will tear that gazebo a new one, and it will end up polluting the ocean and possibly strangling turtles and dolphins ...
