I think that's a brilliant idea for a grounded TT with holes in the roof already. Maybe a black painted box with recycled sliding glass door cartridges arranged as a pitched roof, with 6" metal ducting going lengthways to a plenum on each end and the middle. Insulate the box with 2" foam, paint the tubes and background black.
I think it would cook you quite nicely on the shoulder seasons in the PNW, and act as a bit of insulation in the dark of night when you close it all off.
