Pinball machines in a conservatory?
- Thread starter kevlar
- Start date
Some conservatories are much hotter than others - all depends on how much sun and at what time of day. Mine only gets the sun in the evening through the side windows - makes it a better option than the garage for me.
Might have to get me some of these - how long do they last?

Well I've decided I'm going to fit blinds to the roof and see how they affect the temperature in there. It could do with them anyway regardless of wether I put pinball machines in there. Probably something like these
I put them in my caravan when I put it into winter storage there amazing
Never heard of that before.
Good knows how you got through the door.

Even with the head off it must have been mighty tight.

You can keep it Paul, I can't see myself using it again now my stuff is in the garage.
Depends on how damp the air around your machines are. They remove moisture from the air and once the balls are saturated, the excess water collects in the bottom.
Mine have been inside my machines for months and are still dry.
Was thinking about buying a load of silica gel bags so I'll give these a go instead.
I'll be a putting another cover order in sometime in the future. If you're not sorted before then I'll let you know.
Thanks.

Just to wrap this up I have had blinds on my conservatory roof for a few months now and am very happy to keep pins in there. They weren't expensive but do have a silvery coating on the top surface to help reflect light/heat. They weren't installed until after the very peak of summer but I have been happy with the temperature in there that I've seen so far, and with small windows open and the internal doors open I don't think it will get unbearable in there. I have a few of those cheap dehumidifies off ebay in there but they haven't picked up any moisture so far. Of course only time and a good summer/bad winter will tell if I remain happy.
Get another pin in where that silly treadmill is

Trouble is they have to be somewhere near the doors to get the glass off Carl, right up that end would be very difficult.Get another pin in where that silly treadmill is
