I found them online at Walmart and ordered them sent to Alaska. They were 17 each but that is okay. Glad to have them Thanks for the tips
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo

Great idea. I did much the same thing on 2 walls last year, using a 1" foil covered foam panels. It was a little more expensive than your Mylar. Now I have a more permanent fix.

Great idea for cold nights! Wish I could get these in commercial sizes, like 20' x 40'!
