Just thought I'd post up a few pics of the insulated cover I've sorted for Robin.
It completely cuts out light into the poptop and I hope may lead to more cosier nights in Robin.

Didn't realise light through the material was an issue. But it looks snug, if a bit of a chore putting it on.

Top banana.

How's it secured? Will it be OK in windy conditions?

Hi Folks
It is a slightly mouldable material and thus is okay to mould a little to fit tightly - but I have a secure strap at the joint to hold it all together.
It is a bit fiddly to get in to position on my own - but should be easier with two people.
I left it on overnight in moderate winds and it was completely secure.
Cheers - Batty

It's not an issue, but it is canvas so you do get a degree of light bleeding through if the sun is shining in the am. Not enough to wake up a youngster though! Putting the thermal stuff on would cut out the light more.

I don't think I need worry too much about light bleeding through the canvas in the morning. Having a sunroof will have more of an effect sunlight-in-the-morning-wise Smile

All in All about £35 in materials - and made it myself in a couple of hours.
