The mental midgets who installed the a/c in my house put it on the south side. I would like to build a 3 sided shelter with a roof to keep it in the shade. How much gap should I leave around the sides & top for airflow?

I was going to leave a 6" to 8" gap between the bottom of the "walls" & the ground. i was also thinking of using the Reflectix insulation (foil coated bubble wrap) on the inside of the walls & roof.

Any other suggestions?
