I'll be looking at ways of addressing that - maybe fishing weights on the flaps??

BlueBear: thanks for your comments too!! I don't mean to only chat up with Jam, but he is going to run a hydrohut too and wondered about his experience with it. I've read a lot of your threads and you dispense great advice and creative solutions!!

Then the smaller Dayton pulls air from the Rating: 5
