New 1400 - How to protect vs elements

I bought a new CGE 1400 and would like to find a permanent place for it. I have a flat roof with black liner and it gets very hot. I am afraid of damaging the telescope if I don't properly protect it. I was thinking of building a casing with it using PVC pipes and a tarp but am afraid it would not be enough. Will a galactic dome solve the problem if indeed the heat does effect the mirrors?
