Hey everyone. Thanks for the comments. It's just a heavy duty tarp I use to wrap the palms in. I bought it from an industrial supplier. I also have one layer of shirk wrap around it first.

Holy smokes that palm has grown! How many feet tall is it now? I think the bamboo has gone to wild to try and contain it. Should have done that at the start.

I have the large c-9 bulbs and they are fine. No burn.. I only warp the trunk. The heat rises and fills the enclosure. They also don't run 24/7. They run for about 20 minutes then off for half an hour or so when the temps are around 20f outside. On a sunny day they don't run much at all.. I'll be in...
