Upside down 5 gallon pail. Build a bracket to go on the side of the tower with unistrut (from your fave retailer). A vertical support panel attaches to this. Whatever needs to stay dry gets screwed to it. Over the whole mess goes the bucket. Positioned under is the lid. Coax gets routed up through the lid to your device.
Much more difficult to describe than build. Cost is par with a plastic box assuming first class build with stainless hardware. Can be done el cheapo with materials on hand.
Lived in that horrible climate, Florida for 7 years. This method was a winner. Tried others with varying degrees of success.

Hi- I'm looking for ideas for wx proofing a tower mounted ant transfer relay for 1.2Ghz. I live in Washington, it rains here a "little". What have you done?
