  1. Protection from elements including wind, rain, cold temperatures and warm temperatures
  2. Protection from theft or vandalism
  3. Improved aesthetics, as a covered enclosure looks better than an exposed piece of equipment

There are a handful of things to consider and this checklist is designed to walk you through all the necessary steps for designing and buying a custom enclosure. It's quick and easy and the whole list is only a few pages long. Check off what you need and take notes as you follow the steps.

  2. Measure your equipment and properly size the enclosure
  3. Consider needs related to ongoing maintenance and equipment repair
  4. Think about the extras
  5. Collaborate on the custom enclosure design with manufacturer
  6. Issue the purchase order
