DIY Homemade Monitoring Rain Cover Tutorial with Pictures80

Are you tired of your monitoring equipment getting drenched in the rain? Do you want to protect your investment from the elements without spending a lot of money? If so, then this tutorial is for you!

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a DIY homemade monitoring rain cover using simple materials that you can find at your local hardware store. This rain cover is easy to make and it will provide excellent protection for your monitoring equipment from the rain, snow, and other elements.

Materials you will need:
Clear plastic sheeting
Duct tape
Scissors
Measuring tape
Marker or pen

Instructions:
Measure the circumference of your monitoring equipment and add 6 inches.
Cut a piece of clear plastic sheeting to the length of the circumference measurement.
Fold the plastic sheeting in half lengthwise and crease it.
Unfold the plastic sheeting and place your monitoring equipment in the center.
Bring the two sides of the plastic sheeting together and overlap them by 3 inches.
Tape the overlapped edges together with duct tape.
Fold the top and bottom edges of the plastic sheeting over by 1 inch and tape them down with duct tape.
Cut a small hole in the top of the rain cover for the power cord.
Insert the power cord through the hole and secure it with duct tape.
Your DIY homemade monitoring rain cover is now complete!

Tips:
You can use any type of clear plastic sheeting, but I recommend using a heavy-duty plastic that is UV resistant.
Make sure to tape all of the seams and edges of the rain cover securely to prevent water from leaking in.
If you are using a monitoring equipment that has a display, you can cut a clear window in the rain cover so that you can still see the display.
You can also add a drawstring or bungee cord to the rain cover so that you can secure it to your monitoring equipment.
