Weather Station Shelter

a.2017-03-19 18.12.27.jpg

For my Netatmo Dual Screen Display projet (https://www.instructables.com/id/Netatmo-DualScree...), I needed a shelter for the outside module (temperature and humidity sensor).

The shelter is required to protect the sensor from direct sunlight that will affect the proper measurments.

This is a very simple project which requires just a little tooling and can be achieved within 2 week-ends.

Measures and Materials

I gathered wood materials from my stock : plywood, pine and MDF in different size and thickness.

The shelter is approx. 15 cm side and 20 cm height.

The 3 parts are painted separatly.

The body and roof are glued together at the end.

The base is held with 4 screws.

Since I observe a much more stable measurment of the outside temperature.

Hope you enjoyed it.
