What if the backside of the sheet metal, the side not facing us, was still painted white? Would that have some effect? One side absorbs, the other reflects? Does it work that way?
I would imagine that you'd have to be just a few inches or closer from the heat being radiated from that sheet metal in order to feel anything significant.
Yes, one side would absorb and the other would reflect. Now, I don't know how much difference it would make, but based on my understanding, it
should help. Definitely better than all that EMR being reflected on you in that space. What would happen, I think, is that with that black/white configuration, the heat dissipation for the whole piece would be lower.
Something else that might help as well is to get an oscillating fan on a stand and run an extension cord from the house. While you are out there training, have that create a breeze to assist with removing the excess heat from the area.
That Vantablack stuff sounds very promising!
EDIT: The humidity that you are experiencing would be due to the moisture content of the air and ground. There isn't much you can do about that, unfortunately. And I'm not sure how well a de-humidifier would work in a large, open area like that.
