Go to your local Anixter or Graybar electrical warehouse. Pick out an
outside Hoffman BOX, NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)
BOX and make it work for you. The bigger ones can house two Bridges. The
small ones will house just one. Holes for the electrical, data and antenna
feeds will have to be cleanly punched. Get the Greenlee Punch set. (you
drill a small hole, insert the punch throught the small hole, tighten down
the punch with a wrench and a extremely clean hole is done.) Be sure and
file down then tape the sharp edges. Mounting is done with large U bolts,
(Home Depot). You will have to drill the outside flange. And if it going
to be outside, drill two small weep holes at the bottom side, so that if
water ever gets inside, it will have a chance to drain out. I have used
this over and over again. The Hoffman box has a weather proof seal and can
be locked.
On another note, should you need to supply electrical to the box, don't
bother with 110 VAC. Use Class 2, UV protected, three conductor 18gauge,
shielded (outside thermostat wiring) and splce into the transformer, and run
the cable up with the CAT 5 wiring. Ground the antenna cable at the
Entrance Point, National Code. Ground the shielded Class 2 wiring at the
Hoffman BOX and at the inside Entrance Point. (within 50 feet of EP)
