Post by: Adrian23 on March 14, 2016, 01:33:10 AM
Hello first post on this forum..

Wanted to share my 5-1 Acurite pro wx station with double solar panel so here is a pic. Currently about 14 feet up at the house in Miami Florida still waiting for first wx test.  :-) Please feel free to leave comments on my set-up. Thx!

Looks very good, and I am sure you also have some nice weather there in Miami :-)

Looks like it'll take an Andrew to knock that thing down! Nice set up Adrian!  8-)

That's fantastic!  What did you use to elevate? Standard PVC?  I've got mine about 12 feet above the ground, and I'd love to get higher if I can!

nice installation.
Do you think that wood will handle with the rain? I changed for stainless steel over here.
