I did a similar thing a few years ago at our previous place.

I am not sure what your plans are for a cover. You may find what I did, gives you some ideas to help you with your plans. See my earlier thread:

Nice work, looks great!

Yup, thats where I'm at now: planning on building a housing so that I can keep the mount on the pier permanently. My main concern is with the summers here: it gets very hot and humid (up to 45 deg). I was thinking about something similar to what you did but wanted to go one step further by having two covers, one on the inside, made out of plastic, which is completely sealed, and one on the outside, which allows for air circulation (aided by a cpu fan powered by a solar panel). Of course, the idea would be to put some 'gel packs' inside the first container to keep the moisture levels low). Any thoughts?

Heres a dry fit of the inner plastic container (a bin!):
