Ross - We are using a piece of SS mesh (from a security window). Cut and grinded the edges to fit in nicely in the bottom of the esky. We lift the back of the esky up slightly when sparging with a piece of timber about 15mm thick. It seems to have worked well at this stage.
For Fly sparging you need a uniform flow through the entire grain bed - It sounds to me that this may not be the case & you are getting channeling, especially if you are lifting one end of the esky. I'd suggest you try batch sparging, as efficiency is not affected by manifold design.
