I could make "shutter" like sides to try & match the stupid fake shutters on the house already. That would leave enough airflow on the sides & top yet still shade the unit.

2x2's for the vertical corners. I could hinge the top to fold back over, & hinge the sides to fold flat. Easier to store for the winter.

Dang you guys are smart. I'll try to remember to take pictures & post them.

I don't think my wife would appreciate the louvred stainless sheets as much as I would.

Shovel,
Someone, either Plow & Hearth or Gardner's is selling a device that you attach to your garden hose that mists your condensor when ever the motor kicks on. Due to the evaporation it passes cooler air over the coils & shorten the time the condensor runs. I don't think it would reduce the temp inside unless it is very hot. It works better the lower the humidity (water evaporates better).

Thank you,
Don
