This is what I bought, it hasn't arived yet. For the sake of the neighbors though, I wanted to keep my project sort of minimalist from the outside.
My boys wanted to use candles for light, that would be okay if they were older, but mine are 9,7,5; and I can trust them to climb safely but not play with fire in a wooden structure in tree.
Thanks again, I'm going to consider everything you've said, it's alot to digest.

I read through the threads you suggested last night. The solar garage project included a picture with a charge controller in the middle of the wiring. As far as I can forsee, I'll have a very similar wiring scheme without the charge controller. Does this mean I'll supply the lights and sockets directly from the battery? ie-each battery terminal will have two wires on it, one from the panel and one going to a terminal block? [ Parent ]
