Mate you built that yesterday? Great work!!
I also was thinking of old louvered doors but finding them here is a pain.

Just a quick suggestion. Mounting the Air horizontally will likely cause degraded lightning sensor performance. Once you find the final mounting location, I suggest getting a corner bracket or something and mounting the Air vertical…

yes and no
simple for sure but the air flow won’t be to good under there. For now it’ll do but once you have some time, really invest the few dimes for a bracket and install it lower from the ‘roof’ and where wind/air can flow more easily. Readings will be better.

GREAT Point. I really am struggling to find a great place for the air. Investing in a Solar radiation shield and placing it on the roof?

My son helped me (well, he did all the work) put the Sky on the roof today on a painted wooden closet rod. That’s my Rainwise anemometer to the left.

Gotta love that Lowe’s 10.5 foot fence railing. Very light to put up and works great. I used #2 conduit hangers to attach it to the fence. Total installation cost about 15 bucks and 20 minutes of my time.

To be continued…

^^^^^ One of my thoughts about how to do bird spikes without attaching anything to the Sky. ^^^^^

The short piece of waste pipe into which I drilled slanting holes for the fibreglass rods will also be filled with sand to dampen vibrations in the finished mast. BTW I intend to shorten the 1 inch steel tube that the SKY is attached to in order to make the top of the spikes higher than the top of the SKY unit. May also string thin fishing line between tops of spikes. Also intend to bolt securely. Waited so long for SKY I just had to get it up as soon as it arrived!

So all in all, which should be better? Wood, metal or pvc pipe for the mount?
PVC is out of the choice for me as I live in a place with too many sunshine hours and it would just deteriorate the PVC too quickly.
Any help is welcome!
Thanks!
