Modular Rain & Sun Shield for Outdoor Electrical Boxes

Modular Rain & Sun Shield for Outdoor Electrical Boxes This is a modular, multi-purpose shield designed to protect outdoor electrical equipment—like weatherproof enclosures, outlet boxes, and junction boxes—from the elements. This model is perfect for creating a "porch" effect for your outdoor electrical setup, adding a crucial layer of defense. It is specifically designed to fit 4-to-6-module weatherproof enclosures (like the one shown in the photos, which is a common size). Key Features: Weather Protection: Shields your outdoor electrical equipment from heavy rain and direct, prolonged sun exposure, extending the life of the enclosure. Modular Design: The bracket spacing is customizable (default distance between holes is 200mm). This makes it adaptable to various enclosure widths. Easy Installation: Two pre-drilled holes in each bracket facilitate quick mounting with standard screws and anchors. Robust Construction: The design features integrated structural arches that provide strong support for the roof, making it durable against environmental stressors. Print-Friendly: Optimized for printing without complex supports (check the print settings section for details).
