Both you and your dad spoke to us for a minute or two, which really enjoyed, thank you. What an absolute legend you are, and very down to earth, despite your RUclips fame. Thanks for waving us off in the taxi, loved it. Ps don’t forget to water your dads hanging baskets.

    Leaning some pallets or anything up against the outside of the south facing tin walls to shade them might be a cheap temporary solution.
    Spraying some insulation on the roof, or even cheaper just painting the roof top and bottom sides white should help.

      We painted the asbestos sheeting roofs or our Angora rabbit hutches with white paint in South Africa - which were in shade anyway and it made a difference of a few degrees. Later we did the same for all roofing over our parrot aviaries as well as using microjet irrigation at the hottest time of the day to keep the roofs cool. The birds also appreciated the moisture, sitting out on perches and having a shower while preening. themselves

    Both you and Stuart are obviously passionate about the health of your cattle/calves. Given that the calf building may get replaced and you don't want to spend TOO much on it, it might be worth considering overcladding it (either with a single skiin + air gap or insulated metal sheet). An air gap would stop much of the heat being transferred to the inner surface nd radiated into the building.
    Would a simple ridge cover help the extract (putting a inverted 'v' over the ridge). Should stop wind bloing down into the the ridge and create a venture effect, 'sucking' air out as wind passes over the top.

    It is very difficult to debate and provide a counter-argument with Stuart. Reason being is that he really, really knows his stuff and can explain why and better still, demonstrates it. He is also a pragmatist and whilst giving guidance on the ideal situation, acknowledges and recognises the constraints of circumstances and helps the farmer to get closer to the ideal environment. Stuart is exactly the type of expert you want to give you advice. I have a lot of time for Stuart and can easily see why Tom does too. Fantastic video.

    @robinvanrijn508 2 года назад

    Maybe it is a good idea to do it the same way as they do it in greenhouses, there they spray white chalk on the glas so the sun doesn’t burn the plants. The product I’m using in the garden is redusol. It will wash off by the rain and isn’t harmful for the nature around the building .
    Or put some wood on the inside of the shed against the wall and roof. Standing air is always the best isolator

    Hi Tom,
    I am from India watching your videos since last 3 years regularly.
    One suggestion for calf tin shed.
    Make a carpet of straw or hey or grass on the top of the Tin shed. U see temperature will drastically come.down.
    Carpet will act as insulation and works in winter summer both seasons.
    Do practical on some area of the tin shed.
