Outdoor enclosure help

I used a beast something like that for a moisture detector about 6 years ago. I never saw a standard product line, so we had them made. Think about having it fastened in several places and open one side at a time; you can't believe what a 40 mph wind will do with that baby. Also, you're gonna want insulation on the inside. I have also seen a thermal blanket affair with wire standoffs used for that kind of thing but don't remember where to get one made; check GlobalSpec.

For plastic, start with your local GE plastics supply. They typically have a good bunch of fabricators in their rolodex.

Another guy worth talking to is Brad Shields at

www.racingshields.com

His specialty is Indy car parts, but he knows one heckuva lot about forming plastics and might be convinced to help you.

There's also a mold house in Texas (sorry, don't remember the name) that does the majority of the hot tub liners in the US, if you can track that down.

You may want to search the same site for shelters: I found this one

Oh! Oh! Oh! Just remembered. Check out the guys that do roady boxes for concert tours.

Check out the products supplied by HotBox. I have used their stuff several times and have always been very satisfied with the quality and construction. The model range and options are very comprehensive. Good luck!

Great! Wish I had known about these folks a few years back.

I agree, HotBox is expensive, but you do get what you pay for. At the end of every job I've used their products on, I've never regretted my choice.

What's your target cost (without heater)? I work with several fabricators and could probably supply you with what you want.
