    I have a hot water cylinder thats factory insulated but has no top on it. It's fairly tall I would say 6 and a half to 7 foot tall but has no cover on the top which i'm assuming would lead to considerable inefficiency but it seems to the the design of it.

    Any suggestion and what to cover it with? bin lid?

    I'll post a picture tomorrow when I work out how to do this

    Thin piece of Styrofoam? Easily cut to shape....

    It sounds to me like its a combi cylinder , if it is you won't be losing any heat out of the top of it as the top half of the cylinder is cold water storage , these usually come with a metal lid , you could just cut a piece of plywood or as already suggested Styrofoam but trying to prevent heat loss is not a worry.
