Hi all
I just had the following experience. Just to find out I placed a 2 in foam
sheet ( 2 in) on top of the innercovers ( Crown board ? ) , followed by
the cover . Yesterday I found a good amount of condensation on top of the
inner covers.
Therefore I shall REMOVE the insulation and go back to elevate the the
elevated cover as it was , applicable in this climate. ( Damp / 25 to 40
deg F plus , off and on) Your climatic conditions govern your management
!!!!!
In THIS case the outer cover is elevated with 4 woodscrews underneath the
outer cover by 3/8 inch , thus separating the inner cover to provide
adequate ventilation.
