If you use the concertina foil bats you can put them straight on top of the pre-existing bats because the concertina shape creates the air gap for you. The link I provided is the supplier I used and they will ship to SA. Contact them and they will answer any question you have I am sure.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-27807342187919072752015-05-30T18:12:10.288+09:302015-05-30T18:12:10.288+09:30Sorry but a quick P.S.:

I used <a href="http://www.concertinafoilbatts.com/" rel="nofollow">concertina foil batts</a> which are crinkled cardboard covered in aluminum foil. They simply staple between the roof rafters. The foil works either side up. The only important requirement is that it has a small air space on the underside - otherwise the heat will be absorbed by the material underneath.

And you’re rest-assured that it won’t get damaged easily because this kind of metal is non-corrosive.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abcroofinginc.com/roofing/" rel="nofollow">Tisa @ABCRoofingInc.com</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007403971979747125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-88952937596225639442014-01-17T16:37:01.676+10:302014-01-17T16:37:01.676+10:30It sure has been a heat wave - 40+ all week.

And so far I am pleased to say they are all still alive and well.<br /><br />On the Sunday I hopped in their with them to get an idea of the temperature inside the dome. I was highly impressed it was even cooler than standing under our pergola. I can honestly say the insulation works.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-72966206139824581692014-01-17T16:04:37.494+10:302014-01-17T16:04:37.494+10:30Since chickens are covered with feathers that keep...Since chickens are covered with feathers that keep them hot, and they can only open their mouth and pant to cool themselves, they are less able to avoid dying of the heat than humans are. Can you freeze some bottle of water for them to sit on or get near? One blogger said one of her hens sat astride the bottle. <br /><br />It certainly is torrid according the news I hear from AU. Good luck keeping the hens from dying of the heat. If it were that high here, I have thought I would put a fan on mine if they got too hot. They are mostly free range, so when it is hot, they get in the shadiest part of the yard and sit in the dirt under heavy bushes.
