It starts with a Cable TV ground block. You cut off the mounted F-81 fitting with a hacksaw. Replace the small screw with a knob of the same size (10-32 on some)

Next you take 1/8" by 48" steel rod and bend the angle you need

Now you pick up a small hollow nylon that is just smaller then the 1/8? steel rod. Heat the end of the rod with a lighter. Push the steel rod into the nylon the heat will melt the nylon and make it hold on the end of the rod. Use a small screw to attach the outdoor probe of the temperature. You don??t want the temperature probe to be in contact with the steel rod that would give inaccurate readings.

You can move the probe up and down as needed to keep the temperature probe at the average height of the canopy.

The indoor/outdoor digital thermometer??s are about 10-15 bucks.
