Water protection update
One mistake to avoid in
putting a do
it yourself deer deterrent together is over protecting
the transformer.
Those things generate a small
amount of heat, which isn't an issue in the winter, but summer
temperatures could cause a condensation problem.
The remedy is proper
ventilation. Configure the plastic protective cover so that it allows
air to flow in and out of the bottom while still keeping any rainfall
out.
I've avoided any permanent
enclosure because this project has demanded on the fly adjustments and
repairs.
