Title: Vinyl covers in Queensland

Hi,
I was wondering if Queensland (Australia) beekeepers use vinyl flooring mats - specifically on top of the brood box and also over the super. We are going into autumn now and the nights are getting a bit chilly (below 20 Celsius now, but could drop to about 3 Celsius in winter). Also, what size edge would you leave for the bees to pass through?
