It was OK, but we *really* needed to get other airflow happening inside the hexayurt to take advantage of the cooling. When the airflow was low (ie, we forgot to crack the door open), the swamp cooler quickly turned the hexayurt into a muggy, hot, unpleasant place to be. We tried it both with and without the swamp cooler, and totally sealed vs. with the door cracked, and definitely swamp cooler + cracked door was the way to go. So, yeah, I'd add a top fan, and maybe something to pull air in at the bottom through a filter, as well. :) Connie-Lynne --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
