Just had my Ohme Home pro charger installed but it is on the side of the house that gets the full weather treatment. Can you purchase a cover/shield to help protect the plug from the worse of the Yorkshire weather.
Me personally I wouldnt bother, my Zappi has been sat on the wall for the last 3 years with no issues, it doesnt look faded or tired etc. I do wash it when I wash my car (using a karcher steam cleaner) and then give it a quick polish when do my car.Just had my Ohme Home pro charger installed but it is on the side of the house that gets the full weather treatment.

In all honesty, I doubt that offers Zappi much protection, then again, it doesn't need any.I made this for my Zappi out of an old roofing slate and a couple of shelving brackets from Amazon bent to give a downward slope.
The solar panel on top is for the Ring doorbell.

True but it does offer some protection from the rain on the top where the front and back join and stops the water running down between the wall and the casing. It also provides some shade in the summer when the sun is at it's hottest.In all honesty, I doubt that offers Zappi much protection, then again, it doesn't need any.
Fair comment, you neednt worry though, Zappi is as good as it gets.True but it does offer some protection from the rain on the top where the front and back join and stops the water running down between the wall and the casing.

Hopefully you provide plenty of ventilation? That can be important.I made a wooden box for mine because the charger is bright white and sits on the front of the house (mistake in siting choices on my part). The wood makes it less of an eyesore and provides hanging support for the cable.
