Mine is in my carport. I keep waiting for a burglar to drop through my ceiling.

Which one did you get? I got one off Amazon that you nail to the sides and has an insulation rating of 15.3.


Battic brand, picked up from a local roofing supplier. Uses small screws to attach to the frame. I think it does better during peak sun hours and with air leakage while the AC is running, probably need to take thermal pics from the attic side.

i picked this one up for $45 (make sure to click the 5% off coupon if amazon offers it to you)

LINK

15.3 insulation R-value (the pink panther tent at home depot was only 10 i believe)

i'll be using a staple gun to secure it to make it more air-tight.

i picked this one from several others due to the comments about the zipper on this model being more heavy duty and less likely to fail.
