| Constant exposure to severe climate conditions – very high daytime temperatures, heavy wintertime snow loads, routinely high winds, etc. – can shorten the life of your POD XL5 observatory, just as it can shorten the life of any outdoor equipment or furniture you might have. One of the options available to strengthen and extend the usefulness of your observatory is to have all five equipment bays fitted with a one-piece 100% virgin black polyethylene insulating liner when your POD XL5 is constructed.
These black polyethylene liners are highly ultraviolet and infrared resistant. The black lining is melded with the outer bay color and will not scratch off or peel over time. The liners prevent daytime infrared radiation from penetrating into the bay, reducing the heat build-up inside the POD XL5 in extreme high temperature environments. They also prevent visible light and UV radiation from entering the bay from the outside. The liners add 15 pounds to the weight of each equipment bay and make the bays stronger. If you are having your primary dome panels insulated, you must have these IR liners factory-installed in the five equipment bays to give them the additional strength needed to support the extra weight of the insulated dome.
These IR liners must be ordered at the same time as your POD XL5 so that they can be properly installed into the five equipment bays while your observatory is being constructed.
