We camped in a field last weekend, it was hot, it was sunny.
My Zip Dee awning is brown and beige stripes. We had fun playing with the laser remote temp sensor, the brown stripes were a good 10 deg F higher than the beige. 125 vs 115. It felt like the awning was radiating down on us and making it hotter.
Is there anything I can do to reduce this other than getting new fabric? I noticed the 10x20 easy up we had with white tarp on it was 20 degrees cooler than the awning (but of course not as cool looking).
The awning also leaked a bit so I bought some of the Sunbrella approved weatherproofing spray (hello carpal tunnel tomorrow with the pump spray)
I'm assuming this won't have an effect.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is putting a reflective tarp over the awning a good idea?
thank you
